Well, "large" is pretty vague. However, the "20 and odd" Africans that were first brought to the English colonies of America were brought to Jamestown VA in 1607. For some years it was believed they were aboard a Dutch naval vessel, but it now appears it was an English Privateer, the White Lion, that had taken the slaves from a Portugese ship enroute to Mexico.

They were part of the Triangular Trade Route, particularly The Middle Passage. Molasses was made in the US, the brought to Europe where it was made into rum. Then the rum was brought to Africa and traded for gold and slaves. The slaves would come to the Americas on the Middle Passage (just the name for that leg of the triangle since it cut across the *middle* of the Atlantic) where they were sold by slavers to anyone who would bid enough for them. Also more slaves were obtained by the currently owned slaves having children. The children were now your slaves too.
