Like it probably smelled horrible compared to the woods. They probably smelled it a hundred miles out. They didn't have latrines. Like there was just like disease and waste in the streets. And that's what I would much prefer. I probably the natural woods they were coming from, but you're right.

so this brings us to mid-september fifteen eighty four the expedition arrives back to england and now when they're back home barlow described virginia as this land of plenty and there were peaceful natives he said they showed off the skins and the pearls that he had acquired with their trade with the friendly tribes It seemed this was really a good spot that England should go back to.

They should investigate some more. It's going to be a good candidate for them to establish their first permanent colony. I mean, think about it. They arrive. It's peaceful. It's beautiful. It's idyllic. And even better, your neighbors who are here are helpful. They're trading with you. They're friends. They're eating with you. They're dining together.

This truly seems like the perfect place to come back to. So on April 9th, 1585, now Raleigh appointed his cousin, Sir Richard Grenville, to establish a settlement in North America. This is like the chain of custody. Like, I have a right.

Feels a little catch 22 over here, but you're right. It's time limited. And so this is like supermarket sweeps, but with land and colonies, like you got to get everything you can, but it's time limited. Also, you can't go in the store.
