Question 2

What led to the establishment of "The Lost Colony of Roanoke?"

Accepted Answer

After the first Roanoke settlement failed, Sir Walter Raleigh decided to continue his efforts on a different basis. He returned to Roanoke because he still wanted to avoid the Spanish, but this time he would not seek easy treasure. Raleigh decided that his second colony would consist of plantations. Instead of sending conquerors, he sent whole families to the New World, hoping to re-create English society and its agricultural economy. Poor English farmers would perform the labor on the plantations, while transplanted gentry would perform their traditional functions of land ownership and governance.But Raleigh's second Roanoke colony ultimately failed as well. Voyages to resupply the colonists were delayed by wars between England and Spain, and by the time a ship finally reached Roanoke in 1590, the outpost was deserted. The fate of the roughly one hundred settlers has never been conclusively determined, and the second Roanoke settlement came to be known as "The Lost Colony of Roanoke."
