While the sale of the territory by Spain back to France in 1800 went largely unnoticed, fear of an eventual French invasion spread nationwide when, in 1801, Napoleon sent a military force to secure New Orleans. Southerners feared that Napoleon would free all the slaves in Louisiana, which could trigger slave uprisings elsewhere. [8] Though Jefferson urged moderation, Federalists sought to use this against Jefferson and called for hostilities against France. Undercutting them, Jefferson took up the banner and threatened an alliance with Britain, although relations were uneasy in that direction. [8] In 1801 Jefferson supported France in its plan to take back Saint-Domingue, then under control of Toussaint Louverture after a slave rebellion.
The political impact of France was the main factor that spread ideas. Soldiers who fought in America bought some of the ideas back across to France. Even though victory restored some prestige to the monarchy, the financial impact of the war was to make this restoration of prestige short lived.

To what extent was the federal Government responsible for improving the status of black people in the United States in the years 1945-1964? After the war attitudes towards racial equality had greatly changed, there were many reasons for this ultimately inevitable change. One of the largest was the hypocrisy of fighting for freedom against a Fascist country then returning home and being treated as second class citizens, despite the fact that the fourteen amendment says that all persons born in the U.S are American citizens. Another thing that led the change was the way ally countries such as Britain treated their black citizens with a lot more respect in comparison. This idea that they were dying for an ideological dream of freedom that wasn’t even extended to their homes began the attitudes of people to change and when the attitudes of people change the government has to mould to keep the people appeased.

As a result of the Immigration act the two years before it was put into place people fled to England in a hurry which led to many people wanting a full block of the number of those entering.
Cooper aims to explain how beyond slavery, freedom meant something different than it does today. He focuses on emancipation and imperialism in British East Africa and French West Africa. In post emancipation Africa, life for colored people was hardly “free.” Instead, former slaves were often pressured into various forms of coerced and forced labor. However, many former slaves tried to resist being forced into the free labor market. Finally in 1946, the abolition of forced labor took place in French West Africa, including the declaration that all white and colored workers must be treated as French Citizens.

Tensions began to grow rapidly and the American colonies were becoming more opposed to the British and their King. Britain and the colonies slowly become more and more divided in the way they think and act, as shown when the British imperial polices were soon being established and enforced against the colonies will. Intensified resistance to the British rule made the colonies have more and more resentment with a want of independence to be separated from England. Although British made these imperial polices between 1763 and 1776 while the American colonies and Britain were ideally Father and Son nations, they had overstepped their boundaries as the father country and became monarchy based as they created new laws and enforced taxes and made
Spain and other countries thought they had to get rid of the Indians, so they killed many of them, and pushed them away from their home lands after they got whatever they needed from them, but the French sought out a different approach. They wanted to have a good relationship with the Indians, and therefore were a lot friendlier. One of the biggest things that brought the French and Indians together was trade. France was very interested in furs, spices, and other things, while the Indians were intrigued by the goods that the French had brought over. The Indians and the French even established a region around the Great lakes that was known as the ‘Middle Ground’ were they could trade and negotiate with each other without anyone imposing on one another.
