legitimacy
"The Congress of Vienna was a meeting hosted in 1814 by the Austrian
emperor, Francis I, to attempt to restore a balance of power throughout
Europe. The Congress planned to do this by returning France to its 1790
size and strengthening border nations. A balance of power meant that
no single nation would be strong enough to dominate a region. Another
goal of the Congress was to re-establish dynasties that had existed
before the French Revolution. This policy was called legitimacy."

Napoleon was appointed First Consulate by Sieyles a counter-revolutionist who sought to use Napoleon the war hero as a pawn. Napoleon took advantage of his position and held a coup d'etat making himself consul for life and later emperor. Those who were against the revolution were quick to throw their support behind Napoleon, hoping for restoration of order.
Napoleon failed to regain Haiti for France primarily due to a combination of strong resistance from Haitian revolutionaries, led by figures like Toussaint L'Ouverture and later Jean-Jacques Dessalines, and the harsh tropical conditions that plagued his troops. The French military faced significant losses from yellow fever and other diseases, which decimated their ranks. Additionally, the growing sentiment against colonialism and the commitment of Haitian leaders to independence further thwarted Napoleon's efforts. Ultimately, the failure at the Battle of Vertières in 1803 marked the end of French attempts to reestablish control, leading to Haiti's declaration of independence in 1804.
Napoleon never went to Haiti. In 1801 he sent there an expeditionary force of 27,000 soldiers under his brother-in-law, general Charles Leclerc to restore the French control on the Santo Domingo Island. After having been decimated by the yellow fever and defeated by the insurgent, the survivor of the French Army departed from the Island in December 1803.

It had been a part of his master plan until the slave revolt took place. He sent an army there to regain control but yellow fever destroyed his army. The loss of sugar profits from Haiti was one of the reasons Napoleon was willing to sell the Louisiana Purchase.
