Introduction
Do you think the first settlement of the USA was successful? Roanoke was
established in 1584. It got its name from the Native Americans who lived there,
The Roanokes, who spoke Algonquian. The Roanoke settled in the state we know
today as North Carolina.

The Trips to Roanoke
England wanted to expand, so Sir Walter Raleigh and John white sent men to
Roanoke. They saw many great things, such as fruit, vegetables, animals, and
passive Native Americans. They later returned to England to tell the other people
the great news. Raleigh, Roanoke's governor, was told about North Carolina’s
fruits and veggies, animals, and passive Native Americans. He later went to see
for himself. While on the trip to the “Lost Colony of Roanoke”, he injured himself
and had to go back. He could not continue as Roanoke's fine governor, so he then
made a man named John White Roanoke´s new governor. The new governor
traveled to America. Back in Roanoke, there was a very small amount of skilled
workers, such as farmers and blacksmiths. So, White went back to England to
bring a larger amount of farmers and blacksmiths.

The Lost Colony
When John White and his skilled men were ready to leave on the trip to
America’s Roanoke, England caught up in a war with Spain and other large
empires back then. No boats, ships, or any types of transport were allowed to
enter the bay or exit the bay. The war went on for three years. When the men
finally were able to travel back to the Roanoke colony in 1590, no one was present
at the English settlement of Roanoke. The settlement was all deserted and destroyed.
The pieces of wood and stone were scattered all over the moist ground of North Carolina.
The only thing left was the mysterious, strange word, known as the infamous
CROATOAN. The word was purposely carved on a gatepost of a demolished,
wooden fort.

Present Day Mystery
Some historians thought that the English colony met conflict with the
Native Americans of the area and that they might have killed the English settlers
by spears and bows. Others assumed they deserted the camp and sailed to places
like the mysterious island of CROATOAN. Other historians thought it was a
harmful disease such as a Malaria, caused by mosquitoes, or a storm, but nobody
knows exactly what happened in the year 1590. Roanoke is now known as the
infamous “Lost Colony.” Roanoke has started the country we now know today as
the United States of America.

Conclusion
Roanoke is one of the most interesting colonies that has been filed in history. It has so
many questions to answer, and it's mysterious past gives most historians trouble solving
the mystery. Here's a question, If Roanoke wasn’t settled, do you think the USA would
still be formed?
