It is unclear the exact motives that Napoleon had in mind as regards the lands that would eventually become the Louisiana Purchase, but he was envisioning creating a North American Empire, so he was likely going to use the position to attack Spanish Texas and British Canada.

What decade did Napoleon Bonaparte become Emperor of France?

Oh, dear Heaven, no. Napoleon becoming Emperor put a temporary stop to the Revolution. First, there was the old Régime. The people weren't happy with that and blamed all their problems on the royal family, whom they killed, this period is called the French Revolution and started in 1789. This was followed by a constitution called the Directorate, which was replaced by another called the Consulate. Napoleon became Consul, then First Consul, and eventually commited a coup (in 1799) crowning himself emperor and thus turning France into an Empire. When Napoleon was defeated, the Old Régime was restored, then Napoleon came back and restored the Empire. Then out he went again, and the Old Régime lasted until 1830, when it was replaced by a constitutional monarchy under a different dynasty. In 1848 another revolution founded the Second Republic. The President of this restored the Empire under himself as Napoleon III, and lasted until 1870, when the Third Republic chased him out. That lasted until 1940 and the Vichy régime, and when that was defeated in 1945 a new constitution installed the Fourth Republic. That was dissolved in 1968 and the Fifth Republic came in, and so far has lasted. Since 1789 France has had 23 constitutions. So we know the Revolution started in 1789, and ended in 1799. Napoleon ended the revolution. If, indeed, it has ended. The point is, 'The French revolution' is a misleading term. There have been many. What Napoleon ended was simply the first attempt at a Republic.

It is often called "The First Monticello" and was an outbuilding of Jefferson's Monticello called the South Pavilion. Construction of Monticello began in 1772 and it never really ended until Jefferson died on 4 July 1826. He was making alterations and modifications of his estate by correspondence even when he was posted in France as ambassador.


What was the result of Napoleon selling Louisiana?

It was a win, win, situation for both the US and Napoleon. The US gained land for westward expansion and the Port of New Orleans and the Mississippi River, both of which were essential for commerce and growth in the midwest. Napoleon gained the funds needed to continue his European war and also this sale was certain to be upsetting to Great Britain since it had prior claims to lands on the Pacific Coast of North America and an interest in commerce via New Orleans.
