The correct response is: The Louisiana Territory was no longer useful to him after the Haitian Revolution.
After the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804), Napoleon's plans for a French empire in North America became unviable, as he lost a crucial base for operations in the Caribbean. This led him to reconsider the value of the vast Louisiana Territory, ultimately deciding to sell it to the United States in 1803.
