Walter Raleigh returned from his last expedition to South America in 1618.
he came from englatira
It would have come by ship, as that was the only way to get to Ireland.
It is thought to have only been once but he may have come again. And if you didn't know the capital of North Carolina is named Raleigh because of him.
He didn't. He put together two voyages to the New World and lent his name to a third voyage in 1587, but he never came here himself.
Ralegh's settlement in what is now North Carolina was on Roanoke Island. It became known as 'the lost colony'. It was designated the Cittie of Ralegh, but the name never quite took hold because the colony failed.
It is a reply to both "Passionate Shepherd to His Love" by C. Marlowe and Sir Walter Raleigh's "The Nymph's Reply To The Shepherd". It's basically trying to convince someone to come out in the country and live with him and be in love.
Potatoes were brought back from the English colonization of northern America The potato was first cultivated by northern American Indians and was brought back by Sir Walter Raleigh (with tobacco amongst other things). The queen had previously given Sir Raleigh an estate during the plantations in Ireland previously (where Anglo Irish lords were dispossessed of their land and titles and people loyal to the English crown were "planted" in their place). After his return from the new world Raleigh retired to his estate in Ireland and I can only assume brought the potato, since its a starchy tuber it was perfect for the peasants that worked the land, that way they could fill themselves up since usually they had little food.
It originated near the city of Cayenne, French Guiana in South America.
