    The disappearance of the Roanoke colony was likely due to the colonists splitting up and assimilating into local Native American tribes after their supplies ran low and the threat of attack grew. No evidence was found of starvation, battle, or disease at the site. As time passed with no return of their leader John Smith and dangers mounted, the colonists chose to assimilate with tribes in the area to survive.

    Outline ( Example)

    I. The mysterious disappearance of Roanoke was a result of the colonists splitting up and
    assimilating into the Native tribes.

    II The Roanoke colonists simply disappeared while their leader, John Smith, had left for
    more supplies..

    A. No evidence existed of starvation.


    B. No evidence existed of a rushed exit as in a battle

    III. The colony did not show evidence of people being unexpectedly rushed away or
    disease ridden remains.

    A. No evidence left behind of Spanish troops attacking


    B. No disease infested remains

    IV. The Roanoke colonists left the island because of the dire future they faced in Roanoke.

    A. John Smith took years to return with supplies because of unforeseen circumstances.
    B. The Spaniards were in the foreground pressuring an attack.

    V. To conclude, the Roanoke colonists were in a dire situation. As the days rolled by, out of
    supplies, pressured with imminent invasion, not knowing when or if their leader, John Smith,
    was going to return, the colonist chose to split up and assimilate into the Native tribes in the
    east and west.
