It is unclear the exact motives that Napoleon had in mind as regards the Louisiana Territory, 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. He decided that the money to be gained by selling the territory to the United States was worth more than those dreams.
