At the same time, were you taught about the French and Spanish in Florida and their timeline relationship to the failed Lost Colony?

Yes. But I grew up in North Carolina, so maybe they attempted to get that part of the history right more than other states might have.

Spent four years in Elizabeth City myself...lovely place. It was there that our oldest son was told in school that Roanoke was the first attempt to form a colony; there were no qualifications in the school book about nationality. This was a few years back so I'm sure things have changed.
