Why to join him (Answer to EQ)
I chose to follow Sir Walter Raleigh on the expidition of Roanoke Island. One Reason why I chose to follow him because there were two sucessful expeditions before we colonize, so I thought it would be safe. In the video, "Roanoke Colony," It said that there was perfect soil for colonization over in that area. Another reason is because I'm adventurous and that area would be perfect for me. That's two reasons why I chose to follow him.
