This seems a stretch, as the colonies in the West Indies were all Spanish, not English, prior to 1648. Merchant ships of many kingdoms in Europe carried cargo to the Spanish colonies. And I have never heard of any pre-Jamestown planning by the Crown for slavery in English colonies, but I’d be curious if you can provide any documents of it.

Not according to the primary sources, lol. You know, the actual ship logs, cargo, permission by the Queen to expand operations in the West Indies, where the cargo came from, who it was sold to, where it was sold and delivered, etc...

Also I find it absurd you never heard about Walter Raleigh, Charters/private passages, heck you never heard of the Roanoke Colony, that right there suggest planning stages. This before 1585.
