The reason for this is the following：
First, France is poorer than Britain, and the United States does not take universal values as the standard of making friends.
Second, the French navy is gone, and the United States knows that it needs the ocean, but at that time, the United States did not have a navy, and Britain had a strong navy, so the United States needed the protection of the British navy.
Third, this is the most fundamental. If American independence is a revolution, it is actually the handover of political power. The political power originally belonging to the British royal family was transferred to the local property owners, nobles and upper class members in the United States through revolution. Which of the founding fathers of the United States was not rich? The French Revolution handed over the king's power to the general public and real democracy, which the United States did not want to go along with.
The French Revolution continued and the democratic republic was replaced by Napoleon. Napoleon's war needed money. Jefferson, the drafter of the Declaration of Independence, became president, and Americans took a fancy to France's large colonies in North America. 1803, President Jefferson made a deal with Napoleon and bought Louisiana for150,000 dollars, thus doubling the territory of the United States. Napoleon's war machine has expanded countless times. The following year, 1804, Napoleon became emperor. A year later, on 1805, Napoleon won the most important victory in his life, the battle of Austerlitz, and Napoleon became the overlord of Europe from then on.
