He didn't. He put together two voyages to the New World and lent his name to a third voyage in 1587, but he never came here himself.
The monarch of England who granted Sir Walter Raleigh a charter to settle in the New World was Queen Elizabeth I. In 1584, she authorized Raleigh to explore and establish a colony in North America, which led to the attempted settlement of Roanoke Island. This endeavor marked one of the first English attempts at colonization in the Americas.
The first baby born in the New World as a result of Walter Raleigh's colonization efforts was named Virginia Dare. She was born on August 18, 1587, in the Roanoke Colony, located on Roanoke Island, North Carolina. Virginia Dare is often remembered as a symbol of the early English attempts to settle in America.
Sir Walter Raleigh brought goods back from the Americas, particularly from the region that is now known as Virginia. He introduced various products, including potatoes, tobacco, and corn, to England, which later became popular. Raleigh's expeditions were part of the broader efforts to explore and colonize the New World during the late 16th century.
Walter Raleigh significantly impacted the world through his role in the English colonization of the Americas. He sponsored the Roanoke Colony, the first English attempt at settlement in North America, leading to increased interest in exploring and colonizing the New World. Additionally, Raleigh's writings and promotion of tobacco popularized its use in England, influencing culture and commerce. His endeavors helped lay the foundation for future English colonial expansion and the eventual establishment of the United States.
Neither, Lief Erikson found the new world in 1100-1200. But Christophor Columbus found it in 1492 after lief erikson left so he gets credit for it. ---------------------- While the above is correct, to help with the Columbus / Raleigh issue that is raised here the following facts are relevant. Christopher Columbus is credited with finding the new world (actually he first saw the Bahamas) at 2 a.m. on October 12, 1492. He did not actually reach the American mainland until his third voyage in 1498. Sir Walter Raleigh was not born until about 1552 (his exact date of birth is not known). Thus Columbus' voyages of the new world predate Raleigh by at least 50 years.
