USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sir Walter Raleigh had sent him to establish the “Cittie of Raleigh” in Chesapeake Bay. That attempt became known as the Lost Colony due to the subsequent unexplained disappearance of its population.

Detailed explanation-2: -In 1587, 117 English men, women and children came ashore on Roanoke Island to establish a permanent English settlement in the New World. Just three years later in 1590, when English ships returned to bring supplies, they found the island deserted with no sign of the colonists.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Lost Colony. Do you know the story of the lost colony of Roanoke Island? The legend of Roanoke Island has been passed down from generation to generation since 1590 when a group of 120 English settlers mysteriously vanished.

Detailed explanation-4: -The settlers, who arrived in 1587, disappeared in 1590, leaving behind only two clues: the words “Croatoan” carved into a fort’s gatepost and “Cro” etched into a tree. Theories about the disappearance have ranged from an annihilating disease to a violent rampage by local Native American tribes.

Detailed explanation-5: -The colonists were never lost They formed the Croatoan Archaeological Society when the digs began. Researchers have found thousands of artifacts showing a mix of English and native life roughly four-to-six feet deep in the soil.
