Purpose The purpose of the book is to more accurately describe ethnicity in British Colonial America, starting right at the beginning with Roanoke. The Myth The Myth. For generations, our textbooks have described Roanoke as an English colony made up solely of English-speaking English sent by an English queen, Elizabeth I of the House of Tudor.
