determining the structure and composition of a watershed and its biotic communities. In this. diagram (Figure 8), the strength of influence on the watershed is represented in two ways: the. relative size of the arrows, and the level of control indicated at the right side of the diagram. As a result of different combinations of these formative processes, different types of watersheds. are created (Figure 9).
Baptist Churches were established in the American colonies from the mid-17th century. In 1639, Roger Williams founded a church on Baptist principles in Providence, Rhode Island, and this is usually regarded as the beginning of American Baptist history.
The Middle Colonies were more diverse than colonies in New England and the South. Most of the early settlers depended on the fur trade and on farming for economic survival. The most populous of the Middle colonies was Pennsylvania, other colonies were settled rather haphazardly over the course of the 17th century. Settlers usually organized themselves in small farms spread throughout the colony with a few cities added to the mix.
