Describe two features of the attempts to colonise Virginia in the 1580s. (4 marks)
The famous Sir Walter Raleigh was given permission by Queen Elizabeth the first to establish colonies in the Americas. Naming the land 'Virginia', after the virgin queen, the colony was set to challenge Spanish Imperial interests. However, the settlers had disputes with their indigenous neighbours, and the disappearance of many of the settlers of the second attempt is attributed to the conflict.
