biblical reasons most likely
It was a common name back then
Plot twist: It all was the same John
“Why was everyone named John” should have its own video lol
It was either because of biblical references, for example like John the Baptist who baptized Jesus, people wanted to name their sons after kings who were named John, or both. The king one could apply to a lot more common names like William or George.
We got ourselves an answer to the question folks! Madeline, we now need you to make it into a 15 minutes or so video with a good thumbnail, Scandinavian accent, and stock footage. Then you have to send it to LEMMiNO and have him upload it.

Better late than never.
My question is if we had all this information why weren't we taught any of it? All we were taught in school was "there was a colony on Roanoke here, and John White left for 3 years, came back, it's gone and Croatoan is on a tree" We got no context to the Croatoan islands, and when I was in school, all the information discussed in the video was available, so why didnt we learn it and were just told it's a mystery?

It was 2006. I was 11. I was in my History class reading through the textbook. My eyes read over a section about Roanoke and how all that was left was a note. I was so pissed there was no more information or some sort of resolution. It stuck with me forever, I remember my brain going through all these different ways they could have disappeared. I’m almost 26 now.
Same for my textbook. And I vividly remember the only photo they had was a VERY badly airbrushed "crotoan" superimposed onto a black and white image of a regular, obviously non-inscripted tree.
i hate unsolved mysteries. Just the thought of me not knowing it pains me. Roanoke was the worst of them all.
You would not believe how much of history you do not learn in schools.
26 he says. I came across this bit of history in 1969 and had to wait 52 years to get the full details.
I recall being about 11 in 2016 and hearing about this as well, I thought it was so interesting hearing that no one knew what happened to them. I’m now 17. Or maybe it was earlier, I can’t remember.

passed into obscurity yikes
I don’t understand why didn’t he just sail back to England, repair the anchor (and maybe bring a couple spare, and then head to croatoan? Like you said, it’s his his daughter and granddaughter why would he never return?? There is something so off about that he must’ve been lying. They probably were all dead and he didn’t want to admit it
@@BreakingWhite i think because the video stated that they were at war and no ships not for war effort were to be used, maybe this was a one off
@@BreakingWhiteJohn White died in 1593, the anglo-Spanish war lasted from 1585-1604. the fact he managed to get a boat out to America is dangerous enough. Keep in mind, Rule Britannia wasn’t a thing back then, it was Rule Hispania. England couldn’t just waltz in and out of Europe as they pleases, especially when at war with the premier colonial-naval power that was Spain.

The Sir Walter Raleigh thing was very interesting and way more complicated than it initially seems. First during Elizabeth’s reign: He fought in Ireland against the Desmond rebellion and he was rewarded a load of land. He couldn’t find many people to go there and he wasn’t good at managing. Then he went to Roanoke and did the colonies. They failed. Raleigh became popular with the queen, despite the failed colonisations. Although, the failed colonies were seen negatively, due to the loss of resources and the fact that they failed. He became an MP and chief of the yeomen of the guard too. Then it was discovered that Raleigh had been secretly married to one of Elizabeth’s ladies in waiting. This was a big no no, since the marriage was unauthorised, it was against the lady-in-waiting’s duty and it undermined Elizabeth’s influence. They were thrown in the Tower of London (a more extravagant, less diseased prison for nobility). He was however released in 1592 to attack the Spanish coast and got lucky, capturing a key trading ship and very large amounts of gold; however, some was lost. Then in 1594, after being released again, he went to find El Dorado, that’s right, golden city!.. He failed. He came back with little to show for the large investment and was looked down upon. He did right a book that claimed he discovered some cool stuff, but he probably just lied. He managed to sustain his position and regain favour of the Queen, by being part of the famous raid on Cadiz and defending against the third armada. During James I’s reign: However, Raleigh’s luck was running out. In 1603 the queen died and he was implicated in a plot to bring money into England to promote sedition that same year. He was charged and convicted with treason, sentenced for death, but wasn’t executed for it. Why? Because he’d never actually faced the person accusing him in court. The guy was probably exaggerating his involvement to try and get off the hook a bit (which he did). James I realised there was no real evidence, but he was still imprisoned in the tower for 13 years. Raleigh was then pardoned and given permission to go to South America. Why? You guessed it! To look for El Dorado… again…. During his stay there he attacked a Spanish outpost/ town and his son died. Big embarrassment because they didn’t even get much. The Spanish king demanded that the treason charge was renewed and for him to be executed. He was executed in 1618.
It was really an up and down story
He definitely seemed like a charismatic and interesting fellow. His life was full of adventure and betrayalz
Recently archeologists found evidence that the Roanoke colony assimilated with the nearby Native American tribes. There are even accounts of "grey-eyed Natives" in the area, so it's safe to say that they had some European genes.
some native american groups had a culture of stealing people from other cultures during war and raising them as their own. Well and marrying captured women, could be something like that
Yeah, European genes from the mothers' sides.
I must say, they hid so promisingly from Spain that even their own country and the whole world can't find them.

I had to watch this in class for a project on the lost colony and what we thought happened to the colony. Our teacher gave us the link afterwards and I fell down a rabbit hole of these videos that I love. Thank you for making these.
You’re teacher let you watch this? My teacher would never
15:40 "... they were prepared to remove from Roanoak 50 miles into the maine." You interpret this as meaning "... into the mainland" but one meaning of the word "main" is the open sea (often, in poetry, "the watery main"). That meaning is entirely consistent with moving 50 miles to Croatoan.
John White: "I need to find my family and my colony!" Anchor: No.
Anchor: Well shit
Yeah seriously it's hard to believe
Poor guy, I bet the place where his daughter was could be seen from a distance
All this happened because of that anchor smh
;'( feels bad man
So you’re telling me.. this story could’ve been made a whole hell of a lot clearer (or at least prevented so many possibilities) if the anchor didn’t malfunction on the ship.
On the other hand if they had tried to go back to Croatoan with the broken anchor the ship might have been destroyed in a storm and we'd have even more missing from the puzzle.
damn that anchor
But if the anchor didn't break and they had gone and cleared everything up there and then, then most likely this story would have faded into obscurity only to be known by the utmost enthusiasts along with the thousands of other tales of that time that you don't know anything about. The mystery of it is exactly what makes this story interesting and so I'm glad the anchor broke.
@@TheLeapist Remind me never to leave you alone with an anchor.
No, any number of different decisions would've changed this story. Big accidents don't result from one error, but an error chain.
Wherever the remains of the lost colony are they are going to be incredibly hard to find, the outer banks shoreline and coast constantly changes, literally overnight sometimes, so it could be very possible that one day an incredible amount of artifacts magically appear on a beach, it’s happened before and will probably happen again.

That was very common back in the early colonial days
@@jacksticka842 hell it was common even in stone age
It could’ve all been avoided and if it had, the natives might have been treated better in the future. Genuinely sad.
Nice to have a video about Roanoke that retells the entire history of the colony and doesnt overdramatise this. Also everytime I hear about the story it's always about how John White had no idea what could've happened and didn't know about Croatoan being a nearby tribe and just went "ghosts must've dun it". Also I like to imagine that someone started to chisel "Cro" into a tree and then either realising that the word was too long for the tree, or someone else was like "no don't write it there, write it on this post here" and they had to start all over.
the three people left behind on the island were probably named john
John, Johnnie, and Johnny.
John bean
John Lennon, John Cena and John Stamos
John Day, John Die, John Doe.
I like the idea that the first tree only said “Cro” because they started writing it and ran out of room. “Oh dang, that tree by the fort was bigger, I should go over there” lol
Yeah i think so too
My guess is they started and some guy was like "you think he's gonna spot that one tree in the woods? Just carve it into the post at the entrance?"
@@RogueAstro85 yeah exactly they legit just went to a different island
Honestly? I think that's legit the right answer. They just looked at it, went "oh" and gave up.
@@WobblesandBean I didn’t realize so many people would vibe with this XD
I agree with that conclusion. The colony were short on supplies and sought out more inhabitable land. I think the majority of the colony went to Site X, while a small band of men left the engraved Croatoan message. I believe they purposely ravaged the Roanoke colony and left a subtle message in an effort to not bring unwanted attention to the colonies survival from potential future Spanish scouts. The engraved message would be understood by John White and lead him to the ‘small band of men on Croatoan’. They alone held the new secret location of the colony, now known as Site X. If the Spanish scouts found these brave men first on this exposed outer island, then they would’ve died with the secret.

Why?
Jared Garbo thanks I was wondering how they had grey eyes
Jared Garbo whoever referred too blue eyed people as grey eyed, needs a slapping
@@vitalik38815 I'm not entirely sure, but it could be because the people who originally described the eyes just...didn't have a word for that type of blue yet. It's surprisingly common- like how in the typical poem "roses are red, violets are blue" The color of violets wasn't specifically named at the time of writing, so they just went with blue.

Tell my why this Swedish man is better at pronouncing Spanish names than my own Mexican family.
Because spanish is different from Spanish.
What Spanish? Isn’t it just one Portuguese name?
For shame, that'd be Portuguese.
Because European Spanish is different from Mexican Spanish
Abbie Archer it’s called Latin American spanish, not Mexican spanish. European spanish is called Castilian
Recently went to Roanoke Island and the Outer Banks. Absolutely beautiful. Great video!
Your work as always is so unique.
“The English quickly developed friendly relations with the local Native Americans...” Me: “That seems so un-British to me.”🧐 4:47 “...made their way to the mainland village and massacred its people.” Me: “There we go.”😉
They had a strategy of befriending the older members of a tribe or group then would take over, it’s very british lol
@Great British Rightful according to whom? my good larper.
It was pretty standard procedure during the colonial era for all empires and kingdoms of the time. A lightly armed expeditionary fleet would be sent to survey an area and establish a colony, and if applicable, reach out to the local natives to understand intent (ie are they hostile or not) and potentially establish trade, as colonists would virtually always be low on supply and force. Over time as the colony would develop, natives would be established as more permanent allies if they were useful to the colony (manpower concerns, as allies against other hostile natives, etc), displaced from their territory (especially if gold and other rare resources were involved) or exterminated if relations were especially bad and colony supervisors deemed the natives to be an especially high threat to the colony. I'm sure you can imagine how silly it would be for the brits and spaniards and whatnot to have a default policy of extermination and immediate hostile stance towards natives considering the astronomical costs involved in even establishing a colony, the enormous risks and massive disadvantage the expeditionary fleet crews had embarking across a big fuck off ocean into an unknown land settled by native populations with hundreds of years of survival experience and knowledge of the surrounding land lol.
Great British Britain is a dying land, America is better!

“Sir, the anchor cable broke, shall we still set sail for Croatoan?” “Heavens no, ‘it’s far to risky. Instead let us sail ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE FREAKING OCEAN.”
If only they've risked an extra mile, it would clear things up a bit lmao
I just commented almost the exact same thing lmaoooo that part doesn't make sense
They could have just at least went somewhere near the island hoping that the colonist spot them.
You don't need the anchor for sailing, you need it for anchoring. If you try to park your ship in a narrow strait while people go ashore, chances are the winds will pull the ship onto a reef and damage it. This is not as much of a problem when docking in a port, where you don't use the anchor.
what i find dumb is that they didnt go back. I mean they were your people (his fucking daughter and granddaughter) , how did they just go like "yeah whatever" and didnt go back to check if they still live.
When I was in graduate school, some of my fellow students would make videos of this quality as an alternative to final thesis papers. It was a really good option for students who have great difficulty writing standard 60-page research papers, and the point of the assignment is still achieved. It would be great if similar options could be applied to public schools here in the U.S. Kids might actually try.

After watching the 'History' Special 'Roanoke: Search for the Lost Colony' (you have to pay for it now 😕), where they reanalyze the First Dare Stone, I became convinced of its validity. A modern expert in Elizabethan English, pointed out obscurities which could not have been known in the 1930’s. Anyway, if you haven’t seen it, I would definitely check it out, it’s well worth the $4. But my disagreement with you on that particular point notwithstanding, it was so incredibly refreshing to hear someone tell the tale of the Lost Colony, as not happening in a vacuum. The 1585 Ralph Lane Expedition, and especially how it ended, is so vital in putting the colonist’s disappearance into context. It shows us how that expedition had already left an extremely bad taste in the mouth of the Indians towards the English, long before the John White-Roanoke Expedition had ever left England. For my part, it definitively points to the slaughter of the colonists, as being the most logical and common sense explanation of the mystery. It also reinforces my view on the First Dare Stone’s veracity, as the picture it’s narrative paints falls in line with that conclusion.
Amazing production quality and content.
Man, the ship's anchor pulled a sike..
