[Romulus]

The French sent an enormous army to retake Louisiana from USA after selling it then retaking it from the Spanish previous to selling the territory to a francophile president by the name of Jefferson.

Louisiana was nver sold to the Spanish. The French never attempted to take Louisiana back from the USA. The chief reason they sold it to the US is that they realised they'd never be able to hold it anyway. Your "history" is a tissue of fictions.

USA later won Battle of N.O. against Brits and became single greatest richest country on earth within a century.

And Haiti is a hell-hole that might've remained prosperous and pleasant if the French had managed to hold it.

Totally disagree with your assertions. History proves it out that french sent large army to retake Haiti and Louisiana. Jefferson was beside himself because he loved the french. Jefferson had a serious political problem with Federalist Party, as well as western settlers. He wiped his brow when the French suffered biological defeat in Haiti.

The French and Spanish held Lousiana at times due to hereditary claims through Hapsburgs, etc.. Spain was hoodwinked when french sold "their" territory to USA for cash. If French reacquired Lousiana, they would also seek Florida which was a Spanish holding. Remember, Napoleon married into the Hapsburg dynasty. His victories allowed him to claim former/current Spanish colonies in the world. Believe it or not, Napoleon was the hitler of his generation; I don't think it was beneath him to retake something he sold.

One citation off the top of my head for this historical event is a recent History Channel's look at the Purchase.
