Roanoke was an English colony in the late 16th century. It is commonly known as "The Lost Colony", because it disappeared without a trace, and no one knows what happened. No sign of the colonists were ever found.
Government
Roanoke's first government was lead by Sir Wlter Raleigh, but the colony was deserted after about 10 months. In 1587, another attempt at colonizing Roanoke was launched. This was meant to attract settlers, who would recieve 500 acres of land and a say in the government on arrival. This second colony disappeared mysteriously in 1590.
