quote:Under Napoleon Bonaparte, France took back [Louisiana Purchase] territory in 1800 in the hope of re-establishing an empire in North America. A slave revolt in Haiti [by the awesome Toussaint Louverture] and an impending war with Britain, however, led French officials to abandon these plans and sell the entire territory to the United States, which had originally sought only the purchase of New Orleans and its adjacent lands. U.S. went over there like this And came back like this.
