The article states that the settlers which were sent to Roanoke to establish a colony did not disapper but instead relocated to the Island of Croatoa and provides three reasons of support. Conversely, the professor explains that all of the arguments are weak, they can easily dismiss. Therefore, this event still a mystery and refutes all of the author’s reasons. First, the author claims that the word “Crotoa” is founded onto a piece of wood, that illustrates that they sended a message. As a result only there is one explanation for this, the settlers relocated the Island of Croatoa. However, the professor opposes this point by saying that this does not indicates they relocated Croatoa. If they encountered any trouble while the governor away,
They had a strange relationship, since many of the colonists respected the Indian’s way of life and were amazed by how they lived. Many attributed their strength to the tobacco that they consumed. Others saw them as savages and wanted to convert them to the European way of life. The colonists ended up waging war with them and killed some Croatoans. White went back to England to request supplies, and when he came back, the colony was abandoned, with evidence that they joined the Croatoans. “CRO” was written on a tree, a sign that the colonists left to tell him where they had gone. However, they were to carve a cross over the name if they were forced to vacate, but there was no such mark. An entrance post also had the word “Croatoan” carved into it, also without any crosses. Big items like weapons were left behind, but all smaller supplies were gone. The book uses Professor David Quinn’s theory to explain what happened. The bulk of the colony moved to the Chesapeake Bay and lived in peace while the rest stayed behind to guard the heavier equipment. However, the Spanish threat and Indian hostility forced them to leave. They were the ones who left the notes. Rumors continued to spin when Indians told stories to the people of Jamestown in the Chesapeake Bay about whites living with the Indians. Unfortunately, White, Ralegh, and everyone else searching for the colony never found them. Even after hearing of why Roanoke failed,
“Croatoan” was carved into a tree.John white told the colonists before he left for England
The first, what reparation could the governor propose if he were to lead a sizeable emigrant group to the territory, and the second, would they have to “embrace the Catholic religion.” Trudeau responded conveying his pleasure. He informed Boone that even though the Spanish had regulations that restricted the individual grants, he would waive it for Boone. Also, because he was the leader of this company, Trudeau would grant a thousand units of land to Boone for him and the families that were settling under his omens. And as for the religious wants, they would not be implemented (Boone, 276). By 1799, the Boone family started making arrangements for moving (Boone,
The professor made the point that the edmontosaurs did not migrate south to survive the winter. On the contrary, the writer demonstrated idea that they did migrated to another region.
For my research paper I decided to choose the Roanoke topic, this topic really interested me and as soon as I learned about it, I was eager to learn more. An explorer named Sir Walter Raleigh and some settlers in 1585 first founded the Roanoke Colony. The finding was an attempt by Queen Elizabeth I to find an English settlement in North America. Roanoke Colony was established on Roanoke Island in the outer banks of North Carolina. While Sir Walter Raleigh was in Roanoke he was able to find 2 crucial goods, potato and tobacco, which was one of the first examples of “cultural diffusion”. The governor of the Roanoke Colony was John White, he left for a short trip to England and when he came back he found the settlement deserted. Roanoke mysteriously
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

After leaving for three years, the governor of Roanoke Island, John White, returned to find the settlement abandon. The only remaining clue was the word “CROATOAN” carved into a fence post and the letters “CRO” etched into a nearby tree. Several diverse theories have been suggested to explain the disappearance of the 120 missing colonist, ranging from disease to natural disaster.
The removal of Native-Americans from their homes to the region east of the Mississippi is one of the most tragic and controversial episodes in American History. It affected the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, and Cherokee people. This tragic event killed approximately 2,000 to 6,000 of the 16,543 Cherokee Indians who were forced to move during winter of 1838. There were many legal and moral arguments for and against this policy. In this paper I will point out the reasons why the argument against Indian removal was a more convincing argument.
In 1587 the English made a second attempt to colonize in America due to the unsuccessful colonization of the first attempt in 1854. The English went in search of wealth and a solution to decrease the lower sort population. Both Richard Hakluyt and Walter Ralegh expected more from the second attempt to colonize, but things didn’t go as planned. In 1590 when John White went back, he found the island empty with the word “coroatoan” carved on a tree.
The government of the colony consisted of a governor and 12 council members, all whom were appointed. The government, named the Virginia Council, had no decision making power at all. Everything was sent over to England, settled there, and then sent back. This system was outrageously inefficient and often took several years for anything to be resolved. This absurd and inept council was another reason the death toll at the colony was so high. They couldn’t force people to work on the colony. Finally, a man by the name of John Smith took control and opened the settler’s eyes. They started
For centuries, the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island has been a controversial issue. Many theories exist that explain the disappearance of the colony. Some theories suggest that the colonists left the island to live with friendly neighboring Indians. Others suggest that a hurricane wiped out the colony or that a savage Indian tribe massacred them. The possibility of disease destroying them is also a debated topic. However, evidence indicates that the men and women left behind on Roanoke Island did not die because of massacre, disease, or starvation but went to live with the Croatoan Indians.

California is the most populated state in the United States. It has nine regions of which Northern California is the main focus. It has very many people with very different ethnic, racial, religious and national backgrounds. Notably, the population of California stands out as one of the most varied and composite anywhere on the globe. The population has rapidly increased over the last century. By 1950, the population of California was only about 10 million people. As of 2000, the population had increased threefold to an approximation of almost 35 million people (Reyes & Currie, 2001).
