They died because they had no shelter or food after they left.(Walter W.) I think the soldiers couldn't find anymore food so they moved away.(Rosie M.) I think the Indains forced the soldiers to come with them, and before the soldiers went with them the Indians told them to burn the shelter that was supposed to be safe for the settlers.(Ivy S.) I think the soldiers went to join the indians. ( Joseph V.) I think the fort was burned to the ground by indians and the people fled.(Cody D.) It would be benificial to the settlers to befriend the Indians because the Indians can help the settlers survive by helping the settlers find food, find water, and tell them how to grow crops.(Walter W.) It would benefit the settlers because the indians could help them make shelter and grow crops.(Rosie M.) It might benifit them to make friends with the Indians so they'll have a good winter and have food and water, because the Indians have better stuff than the settlers and the settlers have better stuff that's different than the Indians.(Ivy S.) It could be beneficial to the settlers to ask how to grow their crops better. ( Joseph V.) They could have taught them how to grow better crops or how to hunt more animals and build better houses.(Cody D.) (Walter W.)

If I were Governer White I would have done many things. Here is what I would have done and why I would have done it. The first thing I would do is look for the soldiers. I would do that because what if they weren't dead? What if they were alive? The second thing I would do is be very mad.I would be very mad because I would never know who burnt down the fort or where the soldiers went. The last thing that I would do is look around to see if I could find anything that might have had something to do with the fort being burnt down or the soldiers went. I would do that so that I could maybe find some evidence on why the soldiers left and why the fort burnt down. As you can see if I were Governer White I would have done many different things when I found out the fort was burnt down and the solldiers were gone. (Walter W.) If I was Givernor White I would of done many things to see what happened to the fort and where the soldiers are.The first thing i would do is I would see if there was any evidence on why the fort burnt down.Then i would go look for the soldiers just in case if they were not dead.I can prove that I would try to find evidence on how the fort burnt down because what if someone burtn down the fort because they didn't like the soldiers.I can prove i would go looking for the soldiers because what if they were just pretending to be dead?As you can see if I was Governor White I would do many thingd to try and find out what happened to the fort and the soldiers. (Rosie M.) This is what I would have done if I where Governor White and I saw that the fort was destroyed and the soldiers were gone. One thing I would do is I would just stay calm at first and think of what we would do, and where we would sleep. We would need a place to sleep because without a place to sleep, because animals could come and hert the settlers. I know the settlers stayed calm because Governor White said to stay calm because I read it in the story. Another thing I would do if I were Governor White is I would try to look for the soldiers before it got too dark out. If the settlers could find the soldiers, maybe the soldiers can stay up all night and protect the settlers.The next day the soldiers could build a new fort and be safe in that fort. I know they can search for the soldies because it wasen't late out because I read it in the story. The last thing I would do if I were Governor White and saw that the fort was destroyed and the soldiers were gone is I would go back to England so we wouldn't get hert. I would only go back to England if we couldn't find the soldiers anywhere. I know the settlers would be mad, but that's what I would have to tell them. I know the settlers whould be mad because I read it in the story. As you can see that is what I would have done if I were Governor White and saw the fort was destoryed and the soldiers where gone.(Ivy S.) I think if I were Governor White and I saw the fort was destroyed I would have tried to look for the soldiers and help them rebuild the fort and houses just to last the winter. I would have been very angry and worried for the missing soldiers. Then I would try to get ships to come over during the winter. Then we would try to make friends with the Native Americans so we could learn their ways and make a better life for everyone.The Native Americans were good at growing food and hunting and that might improve how we deal with each other. As you can see this is what I would do if I was Governor White. (Cody D.) There are a lot of things I would have done if I was Governor White. I would have gone out searching for the soldiers. Here's why I would do that. One way I would do that is our colony could make allies. I can prove this because allies means we can get tips. Another way I would do that is our colony could find our soldiers and rebuild the base. I can prove this because we can get prepared if there's another attack. As you can see, there are a lot of things I would do if I was Governor White.
 * 4. If you were Governor White, what would you have done when you saw that the fort had been destroyed and the soldiers were gone? Why?**
