Synopsis
The middle of August, 1619 "twenty and odd" Africans arrive at the English settlement of Old Pointe Comfort, in Hampton, Virginia. The Africans, captured during the Portuguese invasion of the Kingdom of Ndongo, in Angola Africa, are sold as slaves to the Spanish-Portuguese Captain Acuna in the port of Luanda. Along with three-hundred other captives they are placed aboard the San Juan Bautista and shipped some three-thousand miles away to their doom in the silver mines of Mexico. But, before the slaver could reach its destination the slaver is pirated by two English corsairs and fate is set in motion by the Calvinist Reverend turned Privateer, Captain John Jope. Their new destination becomes a small English settlement on the shores of the James River in Virginia. Until recent years the identity of the Captain was simply known as a Dutch Captain, who brought the first "twenty and odd" Africans to English-America.
