Compare New France and the 13 English colonies in terms of population, government, and economy.
|
The population of the English colonies was much greater because their land reached more comfortable geographic regions where conditions were not so harsh. The governments of each were based on a set of governors that rules for the king in the colonies; the English colonies, however, enjoyed a larger degree of self-government with an assemply of elected representatives. In economic terms, New France subsisted primarily on the fur trade, as well as exporting fish. England, however, shaped its economy to its geography: in the North, there were small villages consisting of farmers, and in the South, a plantation economy that produced tobacco, rice, and other crops.
