Napoleon was a threat to the United States because he was in control of an army and navy powerful enough to destroy the United States at that time. However, Napoleon was not interested in making an enemy of the Americans and actually considered the Americans to be a useful thorn in the side of his true enemy: the British.

∙ 8y agoNapoleon was never a serious threat to the US as any review of US history is vacant of any such concerns by any political leaders of the time, nor written about by any historians of the time. Napoleon, in fact was willing to sell the Louisiana Territory to the US because he knew he could not defend New Orleans from the British. There was no point of contact or base from which a French army could launch an attack. Haiti was out of the question. The only real threat was from Great Britain and her long Canadian border with the US.
