Napoleon wanted to keep Haiti as part of France primarily because of its economic value; Haiti was a significant source of sugar and coffee, which were vital to the French economy. Additionally, he aimed to restore French colonial power and influence in the Americas following the loss of the United States. Retaining Haiti was also seen as a way to re-establish a strong French presence in the region, which could potentially support future expansion efforts. Ultimately, Napoleon's ambitions clashed with the Haitian Revolution, leading to significant conflict and his eventual decision to abandon the colony.

Haiti won its independence from France in 1804. The U.S. offered to buy New Orleans from France in 1803, which was part of the context leading to the sale of the Louisiana Territory. Napoleon offered to sell the Louisiana Territory to the U.S. in 1803 as well, shortly before Haiti's independence was recognized.
