When Napoleon sold the Louisiana Territory to the US in 1803, it was a sign that he had no ill intentions against the US. He made the deal to keep Great Britain from taking New Orleans. Great Britain remained a threat to the US as the War of 1812 pointed out. Also, world politics do change and in 1860, France would make a play in Mexico. This would be a threat to the US. In summary, the Louisiana Purchase did not prevent the US from having a war with a European Power.
