Best Answer

Thomas Scott is important because he became a Propaganda tool used by Canada to explain their use of force in their newly purchased lands. The killing of Scott had to be seen as murder by Indians or half breeds to avoid Canadians seeing his killing as a execution by a legitimate government, headed by a well educated, White, French, Catholic. If that message had gotten out Canada would have lost support in Ontario, except among Orangemen like Scott, and increased tensions in French Catholic Canada which would put Confederation at risk.
