Answer 1

Answer:

John White

Explanation:

The success of Spain's colonies in the Americas influenced the English who did not want to be left behind. Europeans powers were all interested in acquiring wealth on the other side of the Atlantic. In the late 1500s, English started putting efforts for the English colony in North America.

By 1584, Sir Raleigh sent settlers to Roanoke Island which led to the first arrival of people in 1585. John White was encouraged by Sir Walter Raleigh to establish a colony. White, an artist and colonist, examined the area and drew watercolour paintings, including Native Indians (Algonquians), diamondback terrapin, catfish, scorpion, crab and sturgeon.

Thomas Hariot also performs an essential part in giving information of the people and places of Virginia in his book called From A Brief and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia, which published in 1588. Thomas Hariot described the Native American towns and people with flora and fauna. White and Hariot work performed a vital part in promoting English people to invest in colonial efforts, which led to the start of settlement in Virginia.
