Answer

The outcome of John White's hopes for America was that they were ruined. White was an English explorer who led a group of colonists to Roanoke Island in present-day North Carolina in 1585. The colony failed and White returned to England for supplies. When he returned to Roanoke in 1590, the colony was abandoned and the colonists were nowhere to be found.
