Louis Riel was a Traitor view point
Louis Riel, a Métis boy, was born on October 22 1844 in the Red River Settlement. He could not have known what future lay in front of him, a future full of lying, backstabbing, insanity and murder. Louis Riel was a coward, he started a rebellion that postponed the confederation of Canada. He murdered a prisoner, Thomas Scott, just because he annoyed him. Then just when the going gets tough what do you think he did, stand up to the Canadian government and fight? No Louis escaped to the United States in 1870 just when the Metis needed him the most. This put his own people who he was apparently fighting for in a deep depression.
But wait it doesn't stop there five years later Louis had some of his friends smuggle him back into canada. But when he gets there he had to attend an insane asylum in Quebec on March 6, 1876. He had to attend the nut house because he
believed that the divine spirit left the task of molding the new world into his hands. Eventually almost after two years they made the mistake of the released Louis on January 29, 1878. In 1883 Louis decided to move back to Manitoba and he made a family then moved to Batoche Saskatchewan. On March 5, 1885, Riel met with 10 other Métis and swore an oath to: “Save our country from a wicked government by taking up arms, if necessary.” This was a bad idea.
The tension started to rise at the battle of duck lake. Get this Louis friends but not him were battling with the local constabulary. You may ask where was louis well the nut job still believed that the divine spirit is on his side. So he gets atop a horse which was about 50 feet behind where the actual battle was happening and starts to yell prayers at the men who were actually fighting. After the battle Louis had his men do
all of his dirty work and a number of innocent police were killed and captured.
After a few more battles like the one at duck lake on May 15, it was all over. The armies and police of Canada overran Batoche and had an insane praying to the divine spirit hoping that it will help him shoeless Louis Riel. He was transferred to Regina and charged with high treason. His trial lasted for two weeks but in the end he was found guilty. On November 16, 1885 at around 8:30 AM justice was finally prevailed as Louis Riel was hung to death by the Canadian government.
