For which reasons did new france grow slowly?

France focused  much more in Europe. They would often times  neglect  their    

colonies during warfare to focus on gaining land in Europe. This is partically

because  France felt that its navy would likely  not be dominant over the British one,So they focused  at home where British armies would likely not beat French ones  on the  mainland.

a reason that was key to coolidge's victory in the 1924 presidental election was that; democratic party supporters were split in the north and south.
