New World serfdom instead of slavery.

... you do know that wasn't the intetion of the Mississippi Company was never primarily to settle Lousianna, but rather to try to reinvigorate the busted French finance system by absorbing all the floating state debt. That wouldn't have worked if they actually had to pump in alot of initial capital into developing and managing the area, since the profit of their stock offering was in the very promsory notes the government was intent on not having to pay back in hard currency.
Regardless of poorly thought out intentions it most certainly did involve massive start up investment, the movement of people to New Orleans durring the scheme was the most substantial settlement effort in the history of New France.
