1.)Ever since his Revolution there hasn't been slavery.
2.)It shows that, Napeleon was brave and decided to change things a little and have a war that had ships.

1. He erupted and enslaved Africans.
2. It showed importance by taking place off the south west coast of Spain. Horatio Nelson, split the French fleet. And captured many ships.
3. Napoleons belief conflicted his method because he would choose just anyone that believed in equal opportunity. Which was not good because when you pick a leader it needs to be for more then just one reason.

1.) L'Ouverture's revolution a lot of money. To make up for that money, Napoleon sold the Lousiania territory to the United States.

2.) During the battle of Tralfagar, the British won with many less ships than the French and the Spanish. The victory for the British hurt France very badly.

3.) Napoleon said he believed in equal oppurtunity but when he selected leaders, he did not treat anyone the same.

1) After watching that revolution the U.S. followed France in creating equal rights for all races.
2) It shows that naval power was extremely important at the time. France had a solid military on land, but Britain had a strong Navy that made them dominant in the sea.
3) Napoleon claimed that he believed in equal rights for all men, but he was prejudice and racist when it came to selecting leaders for puppet government.

1.) Napolean decided to cut his losses in the America's. He agreed to sell the Louisiana Territory for $15 million.

2.)A British commander, Horatio Nelson captured many French fleets. This ensured the supremacy of the British navy for the next 100 years and it forced Napolean to give up his plans of invading Britian.

3.)He wanted the best of the best to run his puppet government, and sometimes it was hard to give everyone a fair chance.
