Imfihlelo ekudala ikho inokuba isonjululwe ekugqibeleni. Ukuba ungumfundi wembali eyoyikisayo (njengam) okanye fan nje Ngaphezulu (njengam), uvile malunga Ilahlekileyo Colony yeRoanoke . Ibali liqala ngo-1587, xa iqela labahlali abangamaNgesi abali-115 lafika laza kuhlala eRoanoke Island, kunxweme lwendawo eyiNorth Carolina ngoku. Yayiyenye yeendawo zokuqala zamaNgesi kwihlabathi elitsha, elasekwa kwiminyaka engama-20 ngaphambi kweJamestown.
IRoanoke kulapho umntwana wokuqala wase-Europe wazalelwa kumhlaba waseMelika, eVirginia Dare, kwaye izinto zazinethemba kodwa zazingagqibelelanga kwaphela. Ikholoni yaseRoanoke ikhokelwa nguJohn White, owabuyela eNgilani kunye neqela ukuze afumane ezinye izinto emva kokuseka indawo yokuhlala. Ngenxa yomcimbi omncinci wemfazwe yaselwandle phakathi kweNgilani neSpain, uWhite akazange akwazi ukubuyela eRoanoke kude kube ngo-1590, kwaye xa wenzayo, wafumana indawo yokuhlala ishiywe ngokupheleleyo ngomyalezo omnye: igama elithi Croatoan liqoshwe emthini. Ukusukela ngoko, ababhali-mbali kunye nabaphandi bayazibuza ukuba kwenzeka ntoni kuRoanoke?
Iingcamango ziye zanda, ukusuka ekuthinjweni kwamanye amazwe ukuya kwi-cannibism ukuya, njenge Ngaphezulu Iposi ngexesha lesibini isiqendu saseCroatoan intsholongwane yeedemon. Kodwa inyani ayithandeki kwaphela. Igama elithi Croatoan libhekisa kwisizwe samaMelika aseMelika esasinobuhlobo nabahlali owayehlala kwisiqithi saseHatteras esikufutshane . Kubonakala ngathi inokuba yayilapho ikholoni elahlekileyo yaya khona, kodwa ngokumangalisayo, akukho mntu wajonga phaya kwaye wacinga ukuba bonke babulewe okanye babi.
UScott Dawson, okhulele kwiHatteras Island, wayefuna ukuyitshintsha loo nto. Njengokuba wabona izinto zakudala zakudala zisembiwa kwesi siqithi njengoko sasiphuhliswa, waseka iCroatoan Archeological Society ukuxhasa umbono olula: Zange zalahleka, ngokuka Dawson. Yenziwe. Imfihlakalo iphelile.
Kwaye kutheni. Kule minyaka ili-11 idlulileyo, abaphandi bemba amawaka ezixhobo kwiHatteras Island, njengoko kubhaliwe luluntu lwaseCroatoan lwezinto zakudala kwaye babonisa umxube ocacileyo wamaNative American kunye nesiNgesi. Iqela, elalivela eNgilane ikakhulu, lafumana amakhonkco obhedu, izibambo zekrele, amacici, ithokheni yaseNuremberg, iisileyiti zokubhala, iglasi. Yonke le nto ibuyela kwixesha lekholoni yaseRoanoke, esaziyo ukuba sinobudlelwane obuhle nabantu baseCroatoan.
Sinezikhokelo ezivela kwimbali kamva, xa isizukulwana kamva abantu baseYurophu badibana nesizwe. Ezinye zeentlanga zeHatteras Croatoan zazinokuthetha isiNgesi kwaye zinamehlo aluhlaza! Ukusuka kuyo yonke le nto kuyacaca ukuba ikoloni elahlekileyo ayizange inyamalale, bahlangana nesizwe saseCroatoan kwaye bahlala ubomi babo apho.
Xa ezi kholoni zilahliwe, ufumana uqhushululu olukhulu lwezopolitiko kunye nokungavisisani kunye nabantu abahamba behamba nezinto, utshilo uNjingalwazi uMark Horton waseBristol owayekhokele kumbiwa. Ke akunakulindeleka ukuba elinye iqela libe linyukile ngeChesapeake, yenyuka iAlbemarle. Kodwa ndizithembile ukuba elinye iqela ubuncinci, mhlawumbi elona candelo lihle, laphuma laya eHatteras Island.
UDawson ukubhale phantsi oku kwincwadi yakhe, ILost Colony kunye neHatteras Island kwaye akaguquki ekupheliseni umbono wale nto njengemfihlakalo, kunokuba ibe sisiqendu sokuqala esibalulekileyo kwimbali yaseMelika. Uhlutha lonke uhlanga lwabantu ngembali yabo ngokuzenza iCroatoan iyimfihlakalo emthini, utshilo. Aba yayingabantu ababaluleke kakhulu.
Ihlala kakhulu malunga nendlela esiyijonga ngayo imbali yokuba umbono wokuba aba baseYurophu bafudukele kwisizwe salapha bahlala khona sisityhilelo esinjalo. Sisebenzise kakhulu kwimbali yethu igcwele ubundlobongela kunye noloyiso, kwaye ababhali bembali babekhethe kakhulu kangangokuba umbono wokuhlala ngoxolo kunye nokudityaniswa kwemibutho emibini yayingacingeki. Kodwa ubungqina bukhona, kubonakala ngathi.
Ke ngoku, siyazi ukuba ikoloni elahlekileyo khange ilahleke njengoko besicinga. Khange sibonakale nje ngokwaneleyo ngokwaneleyo.
