The author focuses on the colonization of North America by the English in the years 1585–1620. The adopted time censures refer respectively to the date of the first colony on Roanoke and shore Mayflower ship, as a turning point in the history of English colonization of the New World. The content of the article is an analysis of English-language sources regarding settlement issues in the present-day United States regarding the aforementioned colonies on Roanoke Island along with accidents that happened to its inhabitants and the beginnings of the city of Jamestown. In addition to the main thread, the author also touches upon the forgotten history of the inhabitants of the sixteenth-century Commonwealth who took part in the colonization trials of the English.
