Louis Riel Murdered Thomas Scott. ======================== Louis Riel did not murder Thomas Scott. In fact, Riel did not kill anyone. Louis Riel was convicted of treason and was hanged in Regina, Northwest Territories, on November 16, 1885. (Regina is now the capital of the Province of Saskatchewan.) Riel is the only person in Canada's history to have been executed for the crime of treason.
In 1872 on March 2, Prime Minister John A. Macdonald payed Louis Riel to go to the United States. He wanted to reduce tnesion and help avoid conflict between Quebec and Ontario.
He rebelled against the Canadian Party (In which John A Macdonald led). Louis Riel originally took over the Red River Territory, which Canada was to buy from the Hudson Bay Company. But the surveyor's were on the land before December 1 (The official transfer date). Riel escaped to the USA and came back later, to help the Metis people because of being treated poorly from Macdonald and the Canadian Party. He was then caught, and hung in Regina, Saskatchewan.
he did bad things, during the rebellions.
Louis Riel's father. a well-respected leader in the Métis community, was also named Louis Riel.
