The USA had recently freed itself from English rule and did not want to take on Napoleon and France for its freedom again.
Jefferson feared that Napoleon (the new leader of France after their revolution) would try to start an empire in Louisiana and take over the United States and also the rest of the world. Another reason is Napoleon had planned to close the port of New Orleans to American shipping. Spain secretly made a bribe with Napoleon to take Louisiana territory if France would leave the Spainiards alone and not attack them and take over their territory. Napolean made the deal, but did NOT plan to keep his end of it.

Napoleon sold Louisiana to the U.S. It was a French colony the whole time. Napoleon was using the colony as a base for sugar trading in the Caribbean. He planned to take Santo Domingo to expand his territories in that area, after the planned conquest failed, he sold his U.S colonies having no more use for them. This deal was known as the Louisiana Purchase and it included the area of all and parts of 15 states. He also hoped that the U.S could use the ports at Louisiana to disrupt British interest in the Northern Carribbean.

Louisiana Purchase. Territory of the United States Napoleon needed peace with Great Britain to implement the Treaty of San Ildefonso and take possession of Louisiana. Otherwise, Louisiana would be an easy prey for Britain or even or the U.S. But in early 1803, war between France and Britain seemed unavoidable
Napoleon needed money for his army and he knew the United States had great need of a river port on the Gulf of Mexico. Louisiana is a long way from France . It would be difficult and expensive for France to defend. He probably figured that if France did not sell it now, they might end up with nothing for it later.
