Answer: Motivated Napoleon to sell the Louisiana Territory to the US.

Step-by-step explanation:

The loss of Saint-Domingue motivated Napoleon to sell the Louisiana Territory to the US. The Haitian revolutionaries never gave a thought to America, but their actions resulted in one of the most fortuitous opportunities the United States ever received.
