Abstract
The English use the "black legend of Spanish conquest" as the moral justification for their incursions into the Western Hemisphere. Sir Walter Raleigh, supported by Queen Elizabeth, selects Roanoke as his base of operations. It is a location that is safe from enemy incursion, but the land is short on water and not very productive. The first settlers are primarily military men who alienate Native Americans in their determined quest for wealth. Raleigh soon realizes this is not the appropriate model for colonization, and in his second attempt to establish a colony in Roanoke, he sends entire families.
