what word rhymes with colony
Colonial means "having to do with a colony" and has nothing to do with Christopher Columbus
Roanoke is famous in the history of America because not only was it the first English colony, the colony also disappeared and all that was left was a carving of the word CROATON in a tree.
One theory is that "Yankee" goes back to the time when New York was a Dutch colony, from its founding in 1624 until 1664. The Dutch farmers of the colony were sometimes referred to disparagingly as Jan Kees (pronounced Yahn Keys), which meant "John Cheese".
Ah, the Lost Colony of Roanoke is a mysterious tale from American history. It was a settlement in the late 16th century that vanished without a trace, leaving behind only the word "Croatoan" carved into a tree. The fate of the colonists remains a puzzle, sparking curiosity and intrigue for centuries to come.
