How Did Captain Hayes Attempt To Colonize America

In 1584, Raleigh was granted a patent by Queen Elizabeth I to colonize in America (Lane). Raleigh sent explorers Philip Amadas, and Artur Barloue to scout the island of Roanoke. They returned a year later with Native Americans Manteo and Wanchese (Manteo). Roanoke was founded by Sir Walter Raleigh. Roanoke was found 22 years before Jamestown and 37 years before the pilgrims (Lane). Raleigh sent a party of 100 soldiers, miners, and scientists to Roanoke Islands. The first party of men were directed by Ralph Lane, they were doomed from the beginning. They arrived too late for planting and supplies were running out quickly. To make things even worse they were rivaling with the neighboring natives. Ralph Lane sealed their fate when he killed the natives chief Wingina. By 1586 Sir Francis Drake who was headed back to England stopped by and Lane and his men had enough. They left the fort behind and headed back to England. Supply ships soon arrived not knowing they had left and found the island deserted. They left fifteen men behind to watch the fort. Raleigh was angry with Lane for leaving, but he did not quit

In 1587 a group of men, women, and children led by Sir John White set sail for America and landed on a North Carolina island called Roanoke (Shirley

But what does all this have to do with the topic? So far all this information is just the discovering of America and who was here first and how they got here. In 1607, a group of London investors known as the Virginia Company sent a small convoy of vessels to Chesapeake Bay, where hundred men built a fort they named Jamestown in honor of King James I (Faragher, Buhle and Czitrom). Chesapeake Bay was already home to many Indians. This became the first English settlement in North America. Maybe this is the reason the topic is on this specific year.

“The new world had an extraordinary richness of languages”(Native peoples prior to European arrival).In the fifteenth century, people in Europe began to explore west to seek new lands and resources because of economic problems.The Europeans came to America to look for gold and silver, but the trip would be difficult and dangerous because there were no maps and not much knowledge on how to get there.Prince Henrey took the challenge to make it possible for others to sail to the Americas without any knowledge on how to get there.He created a place where people who were interested could share their knowledge about geography.People learned about maps and navigation.Then, Henrys sailors finally decided to lead others to go west where eventually Jamestown would be created.In 1606, King James told the three royal charters to create a comfortable colony on the east coast.The English worried about being attacked from the Spanish so they chose almost an island where they parked their ships by tying them to the trees available.To honor the king, they named the place Jamestown(Culters at Jamestown).

The Roanoke was an important part in Virginia history, it was the first attempt for a permanent English settlement in the new world. It was founded by Sir Walter Raleigh in the 1585 and he brought 100 colonists with him to Virginia and left them behind. Walter also had brought his daughter which soon gave birth to the first English child born in America. Her name was Virginia Dare. He had to go back to England because he had to fight in the Spanish war. He sent a fleet of ships in between the 3 years he was fighting but they did not make it to the settlement, instead they landed on a different island and the captain of the ship refused to go any farther than that island. When Raleigh returned 3 years later the only clues that him and the colonists that came with him found were the words CROA and CROATON carved into 2 trees. Before Raliegh had left them 3 years earlier he told them if there was was any trouble then to carve a cross in a tree. They searched all the trees around but did not find any crosses carved. But recently they have done a tree test on the wood that the word CROATON was carved into and they figured out that when he was gone there was extreme drought conditions that were going on while Raleigh was gone. Nobody really knows what happened to the settlement but there has been very educated guesses from historians. One guess came from a historian studying this subject ”That the croaton indian tribe 50 miles away might have something to do with it.” But the

Queen Elizabeth I desired to establish a permanent English settlement in America, known then as "the New World." In the summer of 1587 a group of nearly 120 men and women from England arrived on Roanoke Island, one of a chain of barrier islands now known as the Outer Banks, off the coast of what is now known as North Carolina. This group of settlers set sail from England with the mission of making the Queen's wishes a reality.

In 1587, England sent colonists to America. Colonists were people who left their home country to live in a new place that was owned by their home country. In August, the colonists landed in Roanoke. Roanoke was a colony in Virginia. Captain John White was the leader of the colonists. His daughter was a colonists too. She had a baby. She named the baby Virginia after the place where the colonists lived. Later, John White went back to England to get food and supplies for the colonists. His daughter and the other colonists did not go with him. When he got to England, England went to war and did not let him go back to Roanoke. He had to wait three years to go back. When he got to Roanoke, all of the colonists were gone. No one knows what happened

The first successful British colonization of the Americas was in the Chesapeake area and anchored by Jamestown which was founded in 1607. The original colonists nearly didn’t make it, as it was a very difficult life for them. Moreover, the colonists founded many

In April of 1585, Grenville was finally ready to set sail, with his acquired seven ships complemented by nearly six hundred men, one hundred of whom were to be settlers. Among this initial company were Ralph Lane, a professional soldier, who was also to be governor of the colony, John White, an artist, and Thomas Hariot, a scientific observer. On June 26 the expedition reached Ocracoke Island of the North Carolina coast but it was not until July 29 that they moved to Roanoke Island where they planted a settlement. The month of time in between had been occupied with exploring rivers and sounds of the region. By the time Grenville sailed away on August 25, to return to England, the party of men had unloaded the vessels, traded with the Indians, collected information about the country, erected huts, and prepared a settlement, Fort Raleigh,

In July of 1587, 116 settlers were sent to Roanoke under John White, who was the governor.

Despite this incident and a lack of food, Grenville decided to leave Ralph lane and 107 men to set up a colony at the north end of Roanoke Island, promising to return in April 1586 with more men and fresh supplies. The group left on August 17, 1585, and built a small fort on the island. There aren’t pictures of the Roanoke fort, but it was probably similar in structure to the one in Guayanilla Bay.

Raleigh sent out two small troops lead by Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe to scout out a new inhabitable area (Horn, James). They arrived on the outer banks a few months later in August, 1585 (Carpenter, Jeannine). They were the first English explorers to set eyes on North Carolina (The Lost Colony). Within days after Lanes return to Roanoke Island from Weapemeoc, he wrote historian and geographer Richard Hakluyt that they had: “discovered the mainland to be the goodliest soil under the cope of heaven, so abounding with sweet trees, that bring such sundry rich and most pleasant gummes, grapes of such greatness, yet wild, as France, Spain nor Italy hath no greater” (Carpenter, Jeannine). One of the islands they persuade looked like a perfect island to settle. In another letter he sent to Sir Francis Walsingham, secretary to Queen Elizabeth, Lane seems to have enclosed a crude map, its legends revealing a “great store of fish” and “great red grapes very pleasant” there (Carpenter, Jeannine). This island was Roanoke, ten miles long and two and a half miles wide. These were all reasons why the Roanoke colonists would have been able to establish a long term residence there.

In the late sixteenth, English put forth their effort to establish in America, specifically on Roanoke island. In 1584, English colonies found east coast of North America but not permanently settled. Until 1587. Raleigh, John White and a group of 115 English settlers arrived at Roanoke Island. Although this great achievement had inflated nation 's economy and promote country’s prosperity, its reign didn’t last long. John White came back to Roanoke after 3 years of disappearance. After his arrival, John had no clue where the colonists went and the only remnant left was a single word “CROATON” carved on a wooden-post. This event has shaken the world with many possible theories and was considered as one of the most famous unsolved mysteries in American History.

The two previous expeditions that had been sent to this region by Sir Walter Raleigh had been unsuccessful in establishing a settlement. The first group had simply returned to England. The second group had left fifteen men to stay on the island to start a colony. The third group had expected to find these men when they arrived, but the logs of Fort Raleigh had been pulled down. One corpse was found and it became clear that the destiny of the others was not good, and none had survived (“The Lost Colony of Roanoke” 2).

Colonists arrived on Roanoke Island in 1587, with the hopes of becoming the first English colony in America (Bernstein 2:55). The colony was to be governed by John White and was composed of English families who wished to make a new home for themselves, among the colonists was John White 's daughter, Virginia Dare. Several months later the colony 's governor sailed back to England for supplies. The shortage of supplies was due to skirmishes with the Natives, loss of supplies due to storms, and with the time for planting over the colonists had no way to find enough food. John White promised to return as quickly as possible, but due to unforeseen circumstances was unable to return as soon as was expected. Three years later, John White returned only to find
