The correct answer is that French settlers were few in number and unable to establish a strong government. Many English settlers poured into the thirteen colonies escaping religious persecution and in search of a better life. French settlers were mostly fur trappers and came in smaller numbers, as the French government was far less concentrated on its colonies in what is now in the United States than the British monarchy was. The French were more concerned with the One Hundred Years War they were waging in France and it did not take them long to cede their territories to the British.
