The Lost Colony of Roanoke: What Really Happened? | History for Sleep

What really happened to the Lost Colony of Roanoke? In 1587, more than one hundred English settlers arrived on Roanoke Island hoping to establish a permanent settlement in the New World. Among them was Virginia Dare, who was born in the colony that same year. But when John White returned to Roanoke in 1590, the settlement was abandoned. There were no bodies. No clear signs of battle. No explanation. Only one mysterious word remained: CROATOAN. In this calm and atmospheric historical documentary from Cozy History, we explore the story of the Lost Colony of Roanoke—from its beginnings and the birth of Virginia Dare to John White's mysterious discovery and the theories that have puzzled historians for centuries.
