There are many theories on what happened to Roanoke the Lost Colony. That they went underground, settled at a different place, tried to go back home but there’s only one that could’ve happened to them. When John Smith left to go back to England and returned three years later with no people to come back to except for “CROATOAN” carved into a tree. I believe that the English used the buildings to make boats, that there was no war with the Native Americans, and that they sailed to Croatoan.…
John White was finally returning back to Roanoke Island after a three year long supply run to the mother land of England. White a colonist leader of the Roanoke Island settlement had high hopes for a friendly welcoming from his daughter and granddaughter, but he never would have guess that silence would be the scariest sound of them all.…
After the colonist got there and set up their camp White had to make another trip back to England. From the story, “The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island (Killed by Indians, Disbanded, or Abducted by Aliens) it said, “A trip he intended to last 6-8 months...it was almost 3 years before White was able to return.” During the time White was gone the colonist on the island ran out of the supplies White was suppose to bring back, and could not get them from the island because the island was going through a drought. From, “The Colonist Starved to Death or Were Lost At Sea” it said, “This drought persisted of 3 years, from 1587 to 1589, and is the driest 3 year episode in the entire 800 year reconstruction.” So it was possible the colonist had to leave Roanoke in search of supplies.…
Jamestown was a journey to early 17th century; it was America’s first permanent English colony. Jamestown was founded in 1607 by the Englishmen. It was a four-and-a-half-month voyage from England, and they used 17th century piloting and navigation. They came in boats named, Susan Constant which carried seventy-one people, Godspeed which carried fifty-two people, and Discovery which carried twenty-one and it was also the smallest boat out of the three. 350 men and no women set sail on December 20, 1606, so when they arrived at Jamestown on May during harvest time. Half of the colony perished the first year, and then they faced a brutal winter which let them to trade with the Indians.

The Jamestown colony was located near present day James City County, Virginia. Jamestown was the first permanent settlement by the English in what is in current day known as the United States. The location of Jamestown was selected primarily for the fact that it provided a favorable defensive location against any other foreign powers that may have tried to gain control of the colony. John Smith, Robert Hunt along with others provided inspirational leadership for the colonists but even so starvation became a very apparent problem. The hostile relations with the local Native American people and a lack of any profitable exports only made matters worse. Despite this and a horrible winter bearing down on them, the colonists persevered. At the end of the first winter only 60 of the original 214 English colonists survived. (jamestown virginia) The settlers who came over on the initial three ships were not well-equipped for the life they found in Jamestown. In addition to the “Gentry” who was not accustomed to manual or skilled labor, they consisted mainly of English farmers who were not prepared physically or emotionally for the problems that would face them. (old and sold antique digest) Yet despite this they persevered and worked as a team to establish a colony. However, when two ships, crudely constructed in Bermuda, arrived at the settlement with no supplies, when the colonists desperately needed supplies the most, the settlers packed up and abandoned…
Many have died but only some have survived in Jamestown. In may of 1607 Jamestown was founded in what today is known as Virginia. The ship landed in Virginia with about 110 English Men. The people were hoping to find gold and new land In “The new lands” or North and South America. They all had trouble surviving because they lacked the skills to survive.

The Roanoke colony story has been around since 1590 because in 1587 was when the colony roanoke was founded. Which there was the first baby to be born to english parents in North America. John White who was apart of the conlony went to get supplies for his people so they could get by with their colony. So as he went on his journey and in 1590 when he returned he came back to a colony hat was no longer a colony. His people he had left behind were just gone as if they just disapeared. I believe that a colony of other people found their colony and they joined together but then something must have been arranged thinking maybe John was not going to com back.…

Neil Armstrong once said, “Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand.” (Brainyquote). Armstrong says this when is discussing the topic about the final frontier, but what about the new frontier that sixteenth-century Europeans uncovered? Neil Armstrong’s bravery and willingness to sacrifice his life for a mission can be compared to the Roanoke Colonists. Sadly, there are not any colonists that could have told their tale. Their life story would have appeared as a plot line in a horror movie. The mystery behind the Lost Colony of Roanoke can be summed up into two theories: The colonists migrated and Revenge-seeking Indians cut their thread of life merciless.…
