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.

He gave up this plan because (1) he needed more money to fight Britain and her allies in Europe and (2) Louisiana was far less valuable without Haiti under French control.
