I love how everyone acts like it's a mystery when they carved Croatoan in a tree & their was an island south that was literally called Croatoan (modern day Hatteras Island, NC) where a friendly tribe (of the same exact name) lived that the colonists had befriended & traded with. So when John White couldn't return with supplies (due to England's war with Spain) they OBVIOUSLY went & tried to find the only people they knew that could help them not starve to death. Now, did the colonists make it there successfully is unknown because White NEVER was able to check due to complications with the boat when he tried to sail south to the island. Their is rumors of a Native tribe that had blue eyed members with lighter complexions than your normal American Native would have normally had so it's very plausible they integrated with the Croatoan people

The english of the Elizabethans was modern english. Not contemporary, but modern.

As a Native American, who was a Forestry (and Wildlife Conservation) Major in College. We can't even pronounce some of those native names/words. I can safely say also, that Rootbeer is made from sassafras as well as candy. Yes, the Cherokee considered Sasquatch to be another type of people. That's exactly what we are told. That they came and helped us with the planting and harvesting of crops, and as winter approached, they headed back over the Mountains to the west or North for the winter. They had their own language as well. My other tribe that I belong too is from the Nova Scotia area, but moved around a lot, but we are very white skinned. My brother even has blue eyes. The Tribe is all this way. Pre-contact. We figured a Viking was thrown into the mix at some point between Nova Scotia and living along the Great Lakes. It wasn't anyone else, b/c we fought the English. The Brit. General wrote about us being a formidable foe. That quote is on our monthly newsletter. I don't recall the English General's name tho. OH lookie, I have a newsletter right here...lol. I'll spare ya. We traveled the St. Lawrence and ended up in the Ohio River Valley. Then History picks up, as we are now located in Oklahoma. I took genetics and know how it works. We are pretty damn indian, yet very white. Makes no sense. We are both Cherokee and Wyandotte (Wendat-Huron Confederacy) Old English is hilarious. S, looks like F. There's a Brit com where they are reading from an old English Bible, and the girl gets to the word "sucker", and she already had problems with the letter, and when she gets to that word, the Priest stepped up and put her hand over her mouth and said SUCKER...cuz you know she was going to say FUCKER haha.

I think he pretty clearly told that there were multiple ships. But not close enough to manage to rescue somebody drowning on wild ocean during storm. That is kinda hard to do even today. They had visibility enough to see the ship sinking but visibility was very likely not enough to see somebody trying to swim if he managed to jump from the sinking ship. Plus during the storm it is also hard to even keep yourself above the waves and without something to hold on you can drown pretty quickly if you are not extremely lucky like being close to shore to be kicked there by sea.

It's actually from the Powhatan language that we get the word tomahawk, meaning something to the effect of "to cut by striking."

Sassafras is a wonder drug, according to my old grandmother. If we complained of a headache, we got a dose of sassafras tea, which is a really good laxative...My grandmother believed that most headaches were caused by being constipated. We learned to be careful about complaining around her. Strange little thing I remember. Waaay back when I was in grade school, we learned about Roanoke and there just happened to be a girl in our class named, Virginia Dare. Strange the things you remember after 65 years.

One kid shoved a bunch in his mouth trying to be the class clown and she hadn't finished her sentence yet, just turned around and kept walking until he had consumed most of it when she turned back and said, "It's also a really strong laxative". Boy started sputtering out the last remnants and we all laughed (not in a bullying way, but just like "lol good luck bro").

They're straight up here today. Could be an animal or a spiritual entity. Not sure. But there are animals claimed by tribes in remote rainforests and jungles we say were there thousands of years ago. And these tribes don't know about ancient history or commonly accepted theories. They just see it and say it. On top of that, multiple animals have been thought extinct and then found in modern day. By my name you know I believe in God, so you know I don't believe in evolution, but I believe they have skeletons of bipedal apes they inaccurately attribute to human evolution, Bigfoot could absolutely be a descendent of bipedal apes. And could absolutely be in the relatively unexplored wilderness of many national parks and remote forests in low numbers. To think so many grown and sane people are mistaking something they say they clearly saw, or to say they're all lying, is equally as outlandish a thought as Bigfoot itself. It's a convenient copout to not accept something hard to prove, imo.

​​​@@sarahhannush1466 I have potential relation to John Smith (distant if true, and if so through his siblings, as Smith never had children), and I can shed some light on that due an aforementioned interest on the subject. The long and short of it is that Jamestown under John Smith's leadership was colonized by primary "second son" types; these were the sons of nobles and/or landowners who would receive nothing of inheritance upon their fathers' deaths. The inherent problem that came out from this was that a whole bunch of these people were so used to servants doing all the manual labor, that they really weren't motivated to work and actually make the settlement function. So John Smith had to resort to drastic measures. He locked up all of the gun powder and made an ultimatum - "those who shall not work shall not eat". This _really_ did not go over well, and mutiny was an almost constant threat. Ultimately, one night while Smith was checking on the powder, someone attempted to blow up the hold with him in it. While surviving the obvious murder attempt, Smith had serious burns that could only be properly treated in England. He left on the next ship back, and in the end never returned to Jamestown. As to the morons, they started celebrating that Smith the Tyrant was finally gone, and things were run how they felt it should have been. They all died of starvation and exposure soon after during the next winter, as they idiotically didn't take Smith's farming and hunting lessons to heart. Thus the first settlement of Jamestown fell.

One of the main reasons I think studying history, of whichever period or place, is very important: it teaches the sense of context. Why does this matter? Because one cannot possibly understand why things are as they are now, without knowing how they got that way. That is context. Unfortunately, many people currently seem to lack - or are choosing to not use - the ability to understand context.

Hey history nerd here. Small correction in 38:28 you said Sir Francis Drake couldn't have brought the slaves back because slavery was illegal on the island of Great Britian itself. While that is true, it was almost never enforced for members of high society unless you pissed the wrong person off. For example, all the way up to the late 1700s we actually see members of the nobility and high society offer rewards in newspapers for capturing escaped slaves. So, in all honesty it is very likely that Drake did bring the slaves back and sold them but didn't record them officially just in case someone looked into his dealings.

This elevates your storytelling with a fantastic historical take on a great mystery. Phenomenal.

This is a super in depth video on this, thank you so much! A lot of people who cover Roanoke don’t go into this much detail

Easily the most comprehensive treatment of the Roanoke story I've ever seen. Years ago I read a book called "Roanoke: Solving the Mystery of the Lost Colony" by Lee Miller, which seemed to have been very well researched. The conclusion she came to, as I remember, was that the missing colonists belonged to a religious sect called the Brownists, and that the crown essentially wanted to get rid of them by just dumping them on an island and hoping the Spanish would wipe them out. You seem to have stuck as close as possible to verifiable facts, but I wondered if you had come across this part of the story in the course of your research?

I’m digging the actual History they don’t teach or have tried to erase. 💯. I appreciate you serving out the knowledge. I am member of the Lee family in VA. Richard Henry Lee is my 5th great Gpa on my moms side. On dads side is Sir John Hawkins and Sir Francis Drake - There is also a book in the National Archives - you can also google and read it online - The Burritt Family in America. The Book starts with My 10th Great Gpa , I’m not sure if it is Sir or Lord 😂 William Burritt , I can’t trace the Boat he came on because he owned the ships I’m thinking. He was also a Templar (fun fact) He and his family arrived in America pre 1630 Keep up the detailed good 👍 work !!!! They are trying to erase the History. So from my heart -- Thank you 🙏. Keep educating people or we will LOOSE our past …….. Our past , present , and future is what makes us who we are. The Good and the Ugly. 💯

The root from Sassafras is used by KY. Tenn. NC. West VA. and Virgina peoples for Tea. It tastes like Root beer. I have even seen this tea sold in my home state KY. and even PA,, where I currently live. Really good Tea!

Sassafras is the traditional flavoring of root beer, specifically the roots. It isn't used any more today due to concerns about the main flavoring compound, sasafrole, being potentially carcinogenic. Might be a good idea to cut back on the tea, though the studies on the carcinogenic effects of sassafras aren't conclusive.

It also makes good candies. I love hard sassafras candies.

The Knights of Columbus pushed for Columbus Day to tie Italian immigrants to America’s past, because they were the prosecuted immigrant class of the day like the Irish before them. They weren’t being placated at all. It was a defense mechanism. The story you described may have been emblematic of the issues they faced. but it wasn’t a single inciting indecent. Im also Italian American.

My personal roanoke theory was that no one ever lived in the roanoke colony. The just kinda threw the guys that supposedly lived at roanoke overboard as soon as they were away from shore and then just built the colony and left. Then they come back a few years later and act shocked. This way they get a bigger boat, more funding, and more supplies for less people. (This theory was born from me being pissed at my social studies teacher)

Great video today! I loved the humor XD Also this is by far the most in-depth look into the Lost Colony of Roanoke that I've seen. Super informative!

Thank you. This was a very thorough telling of the history of the Roanoke Colony; well said and interesting.

LETS GO!!! I always get hyped when someone talks about the Roanoke Colony. Also if yall ever in the Outer Banks, especially in the summer time, go down to the Roanoke Island and go see the Elizabethan Gardens. They're so gorgeous. We go every year.

Thanks so much for talking about this in detail. I have always been fascinated with this story ever since i first read about it in my history books when i was in 4th or 5th grade.

You know what this reminds me of? Oak island, the templar crosses and weird constructions there. Did they end up going further north and attempting to settle up there or something? Cannon shots being removed seems to suggest a ship having been there

Really enjoyed this episode. There is nothing better than a history story you can actually relate to yourself and have a type of connection to. I am descended from one of the Delaware tribes, family settled in Jamestown in the early settlement days. And even went to Roanoke (bucket list item ticked off!) to see the colony site. Aiden is also a great presenter as well and I am more than happy to listen to him talk for hours.

Another great video packed with info new to me. Great job!

You have a gift for story telling. Sort of a lost art despite all the people telling (video) stories. Thank you for a nice twist on a much-told tale!

Love this! american history is so freaky when it comes to supernatural stuff

I am looking forward to your perspective on this!

Just found your channel and I can't stop watching!

Wow what a story!! This is the best version by far!!!

Sassafras is a tree. When young, the roots are dug up and used to make tea. It tastes a lot like root beer. A lot of people make it here in the rural Midwest. I hate root beer, so I'm out of luck, but it looks very pretty (tea is a dark red color). Love your channel and super interesting research on Roanoke I hadn't heard before.

Best video I've ever seen on Roanoke. I wish it was longer! :)

Jeez man, once again the best and deepest dive

I live in southestern VA. We have a ton of roads and spaces with Native American names. Listening to folks not from around here pronounce the names is always fun- It's how we know who the tourists are. Srsly though, would absolutely recommend visiting the Outer Banks. There are some really cool things to see. The Lost Colony is a long-running play about Roanoke that is worth seeing!

Which is funny cause there is evidence to suggest that the colony due to various environmental reasons decided to integrate themselves with a local native tribe and moved. There were sightings around that time of a Tribe of natives that had white settlers living among them. The descendants of a tribe in the Roanoke area have European DNA. It's nothing above circumstantial evidence but it makes the most sense.

I feel like it's just the time thing. So so so much time passed between the first leaving of White til people finally really looked into it. Anything could've happened in FIVE years, let alone how much time actually passed! There's just no way of really knowing everything that happened

You have given a better explanation and historical perspective than I’ve ever heard before.

I just got back from living in OBX NC and visited the Lost Colony and went on the tour. Very cool!

This channel somehow came into my feed . I love the way you break the story down and explain everything. I can tell you did your due diligence and did alot of research. I subbed looking forward to more uploads I'm going to check your other videos out after I watch this one .

Love the content. Mostly listen on Spotify while driving. Though being from Michigan I disagree with your view on the Dogman, had an experience that fits what is mentioned in the legend

another amazing video, thank you Aidens!

Oh sweet, I've been waiting for this one!

There is a rather dark aspect theory I grew up with in regards to why the bodies were never found....at least not in the form you would think. The dark theory is that the bones (That which would not decay like the rest of the bodies) were actually used in some altering manner. By one of the unfriendly tribes. Be it turned into tools or weapons, or in some other manner. Its a theory and would explain the difficulty in finding the bodies.

The casual toss in of there was a sighting of a sea monster and then we just move on like it's not important

Just halfway in and I've learned so much from you. I live in NC off the coast and know a little about the history but I love your background deep dive into history storytelling. Would you consider doing one about the pirates of Wimington nc and Black beard.

Also sassafras was an ingredient for the original root beers

Pretty sure this was solved years ago. they left to live with the natives. By the time the boats came back they were far inland and didn’t know about it. When Europeans came to colonize again, they were surprised to find some very white skinned natives amongst the locals.

LOVE the episode!! You nailed it! As a native coastal North Carolinian, let me help you....Manteo is locally pronounced Man-e-oh and Wanchese is Wahn-chees! They have a very unique dialect out there and I'm not a local to the OBX but Ive been several times. Sometimes you can barely understand them!

Definitely a strange case - the boots and just the distance he covered through the crazy terrain adds so much more mystery to it....

Ummm... sassafras is the primary flavor of root beer. Even today, despite the fact that actual sassafras is no longer used to flavor root beer, sassafras "flavor" is still what gives it its main flavor. It's kind of unbelievable that you didn't know this!

@@TheLoreLodge , Nope, sarsaparilla is its own separate carbonated drink that's traditionally made from the Smilax plant. All you have to do is just bite into a little sprig of sassafras (or just break it open and smell it), and your reaction will almost certainly be "oh, root beer!"😁🍺

My take on the apes in the mountains thing is that it may have been a misunderstanding/mistranslation. A lot of books from that time period are just straight-up wrong. Writers had a habit of including things that they thought they heard somewhere, or things that seemed correct, or things that totally happened to their cousin's uncle's friend's grandmother.

Simple yet effective storytelling. Keep it up!

Awesome thanks guys love your channel
