Final answer:

The attempt to colonize Roanoke was not led by Sir Walter Raleigh.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is False.

The attempt to colonize Roanoke was led by Sir Walter Raleigh, but it was John White who was put in charge of the expedition. Raleigh provided financial backing and support for the colony, but he did not personally lead it.
