Answer:
Roanoke Island.
Explanation:
John White established a settlement in Roanoke Island, North Carolina. 150 settlers moved to the settlement. Supply shortages prompted White to go back to England for additional support. White was stranded in England for a few years without hearing from the colony. When White returned he found the settlement abandoned and everyone gone. He found the word "Croatan" written on the tree which was the name of a nearby island and also an Indian people. Some people believe either the Natives slaughtered the settlers or the settlers moved with the Natives in an effort to find food.

How the industrial revolution raised the quality of life for workers and their families.
Since it began approximately two centuries ago, the industrial revolution has captured the minds of an endless number of historians and economists. An era of relatively laissez faire economics, the period between 1760-1850 is for many academics the key to unlocking the secrets of economic growth, technological change, and economic development. But, for defenders of the classical liberal tradition of free enterprise, the industrial revolution is important for more insidious reasons. Writers such as Dickens, Engels, and the Hammonds have made the terms industrial revolution and capitalism synonymous with degradation of the working class. Pessimistic interpretations of the industrial revolution have led to the popular acceptance of what R.M. Hartwell terms the “theory of immiseration”—a belief that unrestrained capitalism was making the rich richer and the poor poorer during the industrial revolution (Hartwell, 1974). For the general public, the horrors of the industrial revolution prove the horrors of capitalism.
