French control of Louisiana upset Jefferson because he feared France would do WHAT?
FutureLPGAgolfer
Jefferson feared that Napoleon (the new leader of France after their revolution) would try to start an empire in Louisiana and take over the United States and also the rest of the world. Another reason is Napoleon had planned to close the port of New Orleans to American shipping. Spain secretly made a bribe with Napoleon to take Louisiana territory if France would leave the Spainiards alone and not attack them and take over their territory. Napolean made the deal, but did NOT plan to keep his end of it.
