Answer: 1619

Step-by-step explanation:

The first 19 or so Africans to reach the colonies England was struggling to establish arrived in Point Comfort, Virginia, near Jamestown, in 1619, brought by British privateers who had seized them from a captured Portuguese slave ship. Slaves were usually baptized in Africa before embarking.
