no louisiana purchase

how would north america & the United States history change if the US had never bought Louisiana from France
 
They'd probably end up taking most of it anyway, probably from Spain or Britain. The French could maybe maintain control of the narrow southern part, but keeping the rest I don't see happening outside of one of those "Napoleanic United Europa" worlds.

This may stop the US Pacific Coast from happening, most likely it will be Hispanophone and independent of Mexico.
