Answer 1

Answer:

Generally assume that the colonists were killed or abducted by Native Indians.

Explanation:

After reaching the New World, English settlers named the colony as Roanoke, which established in 1585. Settlers in Roanoke colony suffered from diseases, severe climate, and unfriendly Indians. John White sailed to England to get help after settling colony and promising to return back. When he returned from England after three years with more men, he found no trace of settlers whom he left behind in the colony.

It is to note that still to this date nobody knows what happened to the colonists at Roanoke because of less evidence regarding their disappearance. The only evidence White found was Croatoan that craved on the wood.
