1. To find out about the time between the two arrivals of colonists on Roanoke Island, we need to review historical records. The first group of colonists arrived in 1585, under the leadership of Ralph Lane. However, this settlement did not last long, and the colonists returned to England in 1586. The second group, led by John White, arrived on Roanoke Island in 1587. So, the approximate time between the two arrivals of colonists was about two years.
2. The delay in John White's return to Roanoke Island can also be determined through historical records. After arriving at the Roanoke Colony in 1587, White traveled back to England to gather supplies and additional settlers for the colony. However, due to various circumstances, including the outbreak of war between England and Spain (known as the Anglo-Spanish War), White's return to Roanoke Island was significantly delayed. He was unable to return until 1590, approximately three years later.
3. The fate of the "lost colony" on Roanoke Island remains a mystery. When John White finally returned to the colony in 1590, he found it abandoned and the only trace left behind was the word "Croatoan" carved on a tree. There are various theories about what may have happened to the colonists, including assimilation with Native American tribes, migration to another location, or even a tragic end such as disease or conflict. However, since there is no concrete evidence, it remains a subject of speculation and debate among historians and researchers.
Ohh, Gabby -- I'm sure these answers are in your social studies book.
I'll be glad to HELP you, but I won't DO your homework for you.
