AHC/WI: Napoleonic South America

Could Napoleon realistically escape to South America and become a major player in its struggle for independence? Could he become a powerful and influential figure in this case? And if the answer is yes, assuming Napoleon survives into his seventies, how would Napoleonic influenced South America develop when compared to OTL?

no, i don't think he could;
he was just kicked out of one the most powerful countries by military force.
If he tries another coup in s. america the same thing happens, only he looses in months instead of years.
