When considering Napoleon's ambitions and the Louisiana purchase, one
should
contemplate that Napoleon's plan was to create a slave empire in the West
Indies and the western two-thirds of North America, and possibly Mexico.
That
would have changed the history of the United States if he had been
successful!
