If Napoleon had not attacked St. Domingue (Haiti), his army would not have perished from tropical diseases on that island. Better yet Napoleon could ally with Toussaint L'Ouverture and recognize freedom for his people. L'Ouverture was actually quite fond of the French before they invaded. In which case French forces would move on in full strength to New Orleans and secure Lousianna Territories as a French colony. There would then be no land sell to the United States. In time who knows, maybe Spain would sell Texas and California to France.
A French North America allied to the free slaves of St. Domingue would put the fright in the slave owners of the American southern states. The sight of black soliders in New Orleans did in fact inspire many American slaves to flee to that city. With France in control of the entire Gulf region with diplomatic recognition of a black country in St. Domingue, there would most certainly be more slave rebellions in the South.
Napoleon would be remembered as a great liberator and the United States would probably adopt a seige mentality rather than expansionist ambitions.
