Let me add a caveat: Since I have included the phrases Napoleonic and "Peace of Amiens Holds", you may refer to it as "Bernadottish/Hochean/etc." Louisiana if you'd prefer.

Historically, Louisiana rushed to dump himself of the province because the Peace of Amiens was clearly going to fail, due in part to a lack of desire for peace on the part of either power.

Let's suppose that things manage to stay a bit calmer, at least for a few years.

Napoleon, historically, didn't decide to sell Louisiana until April of 1803, declaring war a month later. But what would the French do with the colony?

After all, France clearly wans't going to regain Haiti, and Louisiana itself, while giving one access and control of the North American hinterland, isn't inordinately valuable in and of itself.

Hrmm. Thoughts are welcome.
