Members of the Cherokee tribe lived in wooden houses and villages. The villages had walls to prevent attacks. An unexpected effect of European exploration was the death of millions of natives from the diseases that Europeans brought. Roanoke is a historical mystery because no one knows what happened to the people who lived in this settlement.
We can arrive at these answers because:
- The Cherokees lived in houses with wooden walls and roofs made of tree bark.
- They used wood as a thermal insulator to protect them in the coldest seasons.
- In addition, they lived in groups, which formed the villages and it was common for these villages to be walled to prevent attacks by animals or other tribes.
- The Europeans arrived and brought several diseases to America, such as smallpox.
- The organism in the natives had no defenses against these diseases, as the natives had never come into contact with them. This caused millions of natives to become infected and die from these diseases.
- This was an unexpected effect, as Europeans were hoping to use the natives as a workforce.
About the mystery of Roanoke, we can say that an English settlement was established in this region and one of its members, John White, had to take a trip, leaving the family in Roanoke. White returned to the settlement three years later and found the place completely empty, with no clues as to what happened to its inhabitants and even his family.
To date, no evidence has been found to explain what happened to a Roanoke.
