New France

As large as it is on a map, it wasn’t as impressive as it seemed. By 1663
there are about only 3215 French people living in Montreal, Quebec and
Trois-Rivières. They’re outnumbered by the indigenous people and other
English settlers.

The reason why there were so little French people over there, taking into

people able to move since it excluded a good deal of other people (Jews,
protestants, etc).

New France didn’t project a great image either, with the cold weather,
