In the text of the treaty between France and the USA selling the LA territory it says
The First Consul of the French Republic desiring to give to the Unit ed States a strong proof of his friendship doth hereby cede to the United States in the name of the French Republic for ever and in full Sovereignty the said territory
What if instead of showing friendship to the USA with its sale, France tries to win back the Ottomans to their side a little earlier than in OTL by selling them LA as an apology to loosing them Egypt for a few years. What might it take to do this. Will France need a First Consul other than Napoleon. How may the dispute with Spain over the territories border with New Spain be handled differently than in OTL
Inspired by this map. It seems like a really cool idea to me.
