English making their way into the new world

The English began to make their way to the new world to establish colonies by many different ways. One thing between those things is that the English were really competitive with the Spanish to control territories in the new world. Both of the countries had naval battles with each other. In the sixteen-hundreds England comes to the new world and settles there. When England defeated Spain in a naval battle, they rapidly started to populate. A place where they made a settlement was in the east of Virginia. This settlement was called, Roanoke. This was a town that wasn’t so densely populated but, the English started get more people into it. This was England`s first attempt to make a permanent colony. Roanoke was established by the English in fifteen-eighty-seven. This colony was supplied once a year which was a bad idea since people could get starved easily. But when they were going to give food, England got in a naval fight with Spain. They got to distracted in the fight that, they forgot to bring food and supplies to Roanoke for three years. Once they come back from the fight, they found nothing in the whole town. Only a piece of log that had a man’s skull on it the said Croaton. They also found a corpse with crosses. It all looked very disappointing and dark. Instead of reporting what they saw, the English erased the evidence. The English erased the evidence so the people in England wouldn’t stop from settling there. There are three theories to what could have happen. The first is that, they thought Spanish conquistadores went there and killed their people. The second theory is that the English settlers that lived there could have blended in with the natives. The last theory is that the town people felt so hungry so then decided to leave on ships and then those ships sank. The English cover up the corpses left behind and remodel so it looks much better. Know since they covered it up, more people want to go (settlers want to go) so know they can make a good colony.
