So if France somehow comes out of the American Theatre of the Seven Years War victorious* and Montcalm's valiant defence of the colony makes the King more interested in peopling it, how many settlers would they be able to ferry over before the next major conflict kicks off (for simplicity's sake we'll say it's still the American Revolutionary War which still starts in in the 1770s). Would Louisiana having a larger French population result in it being governed more from New Orleans or would it continue to be subject to Quebec?

*on that note, is there any consensus regarding what wartime PoD would best achieve this outcome?
