C) It Influenced Napoleon to become interested in selling the Louisiana Territory.

Explanation:

After the slave revolt in Saint Dominique in 1800s, and the declaration of sovereign nation as Haiti, there were people supporting antislavery in the northern parts of Mississippi river, whose belief on equality for all, liberty and life, demanded that US supports Haiti and her people.

It is on this occurrence the incidence of Louisiana Purchase occurred, where Napoleon Bonaparte sold the whole of the west Mississippi area to USA, at a price of $15million.

The area made the US territory to be doubled in land mass.
