This is an idea I had for a timeline I may work on if I ever get some spare time.

What if the French never sold Louisiana to the US? A possible PoD is Jean-Jacques Dessalines passing away, which would maybe halt the slave uprising in the French Caribbean. Thus, able to still send troops under disguise as reinforcements, they land in New Orleans to help fortify the territory. There also were 20,000 Native warriors ready to help the French, while French Canadians could start settling.

Three things would need to happen, however: continuing peace with England, continued friendship with America, and a successful Saint-Domingue campeign. This, however, I am not sure if it's possible.
