Roanoke Island Colony

Well, on one of the first trips back there was no sign of the 15 men they had left there, and there was only a skeleton left behind.

In terms of the "Lost Colony" there were two clues. One was the word "CROATOAN" carved into the post of a fence, and CRO carved into a nearby tree.

John White thought this may have been an indication that they moved to Croatoan Island, but was unable to visit there to check.

The first time they starved... the second try it is inknown what happened... they think eather they all got killed by native Americans, they moved more inland to marry native American woman, last is that they got killed by Spaniards from Florida...- david ROANOKE MEANS BRB, cuz they were going to come back later.

Jamestown was built in 1607 when 104 men arrived in Virginia. They were sent by investors to find gold, but they picked the worse track of land in the area. The water was bad and brackish with mosquitoes and instead of planting crops they looked for gold. The geology of the area didn't support gold. They also landed in a Native American empire of 15,000. Within 6 months only 34 men were alive. Disease and starvation were the main causes. Historians have also found evidence of a Spanish spy in the group. In 1620 60 English Pilgrims left England for Virginia, but their ship was blown off course and they found themselves in Massachusetts. When they arrived they found an abandoned Native American village with a stockpile of food that helped them while they were living on the ship and setting up the colony. They also died from diseases and other conditions. Less so from starvation compared to Jamestown. There were 11 children with the colony and 5 died within the first months of the colony. The Native Americans did help the Pilgrims, but the Thanksgiving dinner that we celebrate didn't happen the way we think it did. It wasn't until 1863 that Lincoln declared a Thanksgiving holiday.

Black men and women.

I just studied this in American History class today so you are in luck. Government of the colonies: Each colony had a Govenor. Each had a Council which was the upper house and was made up of white male land owners. They were appointed by the govenor. Which makes you think if they were only his friends and no one else. Each had an assembly which was the lower house/legislative body. They were the only elected body in the early colonies. They controlled the money and the taxes. I hope that this helps:)

Roanoke was the name the local Indians had for the area.

Sir Walter Raleigh started the colony on Roanoke Island but the colonists disappeared.

The address of the Roanoke Canal Commission is: 2464 Thelma Road, Roanoke Rapids, NC 27870

It would have been a struggle from day to day. While the colonists did bring supplies with them they would have had to provide for themselves in terms of food, fresh water, wood for cooking and heating. They did get some help from the natives but it was a time of drought and crops were not quite so plentiful as everyone would have liked. Roanoke Island is a small island with few sources of fresh water. The colonists would have had to collect rainwater. The waters surrounding the island provided fish and shellfish (oyster, crab) and the land provided opportunitites for hunting rabbit, small game , birds and deer. The mainland provided opportunities for hunting larger game, including bear, but the colonists had to cross water from the island to the mainland. The colonists also had to provide their own shelter. They built simple dwellings using local materials.

i dont know what time can i pick you up

The first two voyages (1584 and 1585) were comprised entirely of men. The third (1587) voyage included men, women and boys. There were no girls until Virginia Dare was born on Roanoke Island on August 18th, 1587. She was the daughter of Ananias and Eleanor White Dare. Eleanor White Dare was the daughter of Governor John White, who led the colony. The majority of the colonists were male. According to the ships' lists, some of the women shared the last name of some of the men. This could mean that married couples were part of the colony make-up, or possibly brothers and sisters. Some of the men would have been artisans with skills that were needed to forge a new life in a new country, some would have had military skills. Some, quite possibly, were servants. The women would have filled the traditional female roles of that time period - midwife, servant, homemaker (although that term was not used at that time).

Sir Walter Raleigh accompanied Sir Humphrey Gilbert on a voyage in 1583. This expedition aimed to establish a colony in North America, specifically in what is now Canada. Although the voyage faced numerous challenges, it marked a significant moment in the early attempts at English colonization in the New World.

Native animals of Roanoke island are Red wolves, Raptors, American allagators otters, deers, Red-cockaded woodpeckers, and more to preserve at the island.
