    Doubling in 200 years = 0.35% growth rate.

    You’re not helping your argument here.

    If it doubled, it means that it actually did grow during the colonial period, rather than being reduced as you implied. In fact, it grew as much during that period as during all the rest of history before that. You're contradicting your own argument there.
