Napoleon-American Exile?: Redux

Seeing as before i posted in the incorrect section i thought i might re post to see if it garners any interest. @ any rate here goes

Napoleon was exiled to St.Helena in 1815 and some sources (one i read being "Napoleon in exile 1815-1821") say he had expressed a thought of breaking through the blockade and high-tailing it to the United States. I Suppose its debatable as to weather the U.S would be wiling to accept him, but my thinking is they may still have some animosity towards England since the War of 1812 and such.

Now in of itself it probably doesn't make a big diff. But WI someway, somehow Old Bone gets a way to the U.S and they allow him to stay? what kind of effect would it have would they use his military mind to help revamp and "Europeanise" the U.S Army? anyway let me know, thanks for considering

Well, Thomas Jefferson was really enamoured with the French Revolution, at least for a while. He wasn't the only American who viewed it as analogous to their own revolution. I think by 1815 the enthusiasm for the revolution, in the light of the attrocities it brought, had wanned. But maybe an earlier Napoleon could have found exile in the united states?
