Why was the french settlement in north America slower than the English colonies?

England gained the richer land, capable of supporting a far greater population. But colonisation policies also differed fundamentally.
France was far more selective about who could settle in "New France": the colonists should be good Catholics, strongly loyal to Crown, lord & church, and ready to transplant French institutions to the New World.
The British really didn't care that much who settled their new lands. In fact shipping a few thousand potential religious or political troublemakers to America was as good a means as any of getting them away from England. They had to be reasonably loyal in practice, but how they ran their lives in the colonies wasn't a major concern so long as they were advantageous to British trade and kept the French out.
So France narrowed its range of potential colonists, while the British permitted a free-for-all.

∙ 13y agoHow do they differ?:•French colonies had mainly come to the U.S. for fish and fur. They had a good relationship with the Native Americans because they had to trade with them.
•British (English) colonies didn't have good relationships with the Native Americans. The English came to the Americas just to establish colonies, and also wanted competition. Since the English had the best and largest navy, getting new lands would be better for them.
