Jefferson feared that Napoleon (the new leader of France after their revolution) would try to start an empire in Louisiana and take over the United States and also the rest of the world. Another reason is Napoleon had planned to close the port of New Orleans to American shipping.

The political map of Europe.
Napoleon created the CONTINENTAL SYSTEM, which was an economic blockade (or embargo) by France and all French allies on the European Continent (Prussia, Austria, and Russia -- they were allies because they surrendered to France) on the United Kingdom. The embargo was actually relatively successful in destroying the British economy.However, an embargo harms the economies of both groups who do not trade with each other and Russia was far more dependent on trade with the United Kingdom than the UK was on trade with Russia. As a result, Russia broke the embargo and began trading with the United Kingdom. In order to compel Russia to follow the rules of the blockade, Napoleon was pressed to invade Russia and force a re-capitulation to the previously-agreed-to terms. This invasion, ironically, served to be Napoleon's undoing, leading to the destruction of his victorious armies.
