Using Charts
Writing practice:
By the beginning of the 18th century, the majority of American colonies were populated by people of different origins and religious groups. First of all these people had a wish of building a church of their own choice and having freedom of religion. Using the presented chart compose some sentences about religious and population content of the American colonies.

Majority of these people were descendants from India, Ceylon and African countries. The first Islamic followers settled priory in Virginia Colony and were living among other settlers who were mostly representatives of Anglican Church of England.
