Detailed explanation-1: -The New England Colonies had the shortest growing season.
Detailed explanation-2: -New France, French Nouvelle-France, (1534–1763), the French colonies of continental North America, initially embracing the shores of the St. Lawrence River, Newfoundland, and Acadia (Nova Scotia) but gradually expanding to include much of the Great Lakes region and parts of the trans-Appalachian West.
Detailed explanation-3: -The colony of New France grew slowly because the French viewed the colony as more of an economic venture than as a place to settle, France didn’t send huge numbers of colonists to North America in the same way that England did, and living conditions were rough.
Detailed explanation-4: -Wheat, a primary crop, was used to produce flour for bread, a staple food in New France. It was rotated with oats, corn, barley, and tobacco. There were also vegetable gardens and fruit trees. The livestock included pigs, cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and poultry.
Detailed explanation-5: -Between 1535 and 1763, approximately 10, 000 French migrants (including 2, 000 women) are believed to have settled in New France. From those migrants, the Canadian population was born. Settlers migrated mostly for work.
