Immigration rush to the USA during the Napoleonic wars.

The USA had a population of about 5.3 million people in the year 1800. So WI a large immigration rush happened to the USA so that by the end of the war it's population would be twice or thrice that number ( most immigrants would be German, or Scandinavian and Protestant) how would this effect the USAs policy especially toward the Mexicans and Brits if they have a larger population in the near future and what happens to slavery and industrialisation if there is more cheap labour available. Could we also see a US that's more diverse when it comes to languages.

1st. To do this you would have to have some type of ethnic cleasning to be carried out by occupying French forces, or some type of encouragement by the peoples conquered to emigrate away from their homeland.

In other words, a feeling that that French would ultimately win and keep their possessions ( the local population choosing not accepting to be under French rule) or that the war would drag on years which would effect the populace badly in regards to loss of farmland, homes, jobs etc.

2nd. You'd need a lot of transport (sailing ships) at your beck and call to do this, which is not that possible when the war completely disrupts global trade in regards to shipping and port complexes, especially as each side blockaded them from use.

How could you make sure that your ship carrying refugees gets safe passage instead of being confiscated or turned back.

Hope this has helped
