What was the Metis Rebellion?

The Metis Rebellion was when the Metis People in Canada fought for their rights and freedom, fighting because the Canadian Government was not treating them well. it was also known as the Red River Rebellion. I've attached a link to a good website for more detailed.


How did Louis Riel almost destroy the Metis community?

This is an interesting question because it is often taught that Riel was responsible for the Western Metis community surviving, with some legal status, the colonisation of what is today Western Canada. The Manitoba Act, creating a 5th province and the first colonial province of Canada, acknowledged that there were inhabitants in the land purchased by Canada. It also promised the Metis well over a million acres of land and gave some cultural rights, mainly religious and educational. This is credited as a response to the many uprisings in Canada's new holding and in particular those in the Red River area. It is always difficult to determine what could have been rather than what was but it could be argued that Riel was not a great friend to the Metis Community of what is today Western Canada. In the more southern areas of North-West Territories the Metis were Catholic, part Indian and French. That was not the case in many parts of the North or deeper in the interior where the Metis were very much more likely to be of Scottish and English descent the result of hundreds of years of HBC presence. Riel did little to advance their cause and those that have since used Riel for various political purposes have often stressed the French and Catholic connection, sometimes in a clear attempt to marginalize other Metis groups even those with deeper roots in the North-West Territories. Metis is a controversial status even today some claim to be "real" Metis because they have some French roots. If your family was Scottish or British Metis you may well interpret Riel's role in your history as a negative one. Even the label "Metis" is of French origin and likely not one that would be chosen by those with English roots. Anther way one could say that Riel almost destroyed the Metis Community was by his creation of a Provisional Government and violent confrontations with Canadians settling in Canada's newly acquired lands. Support for those people already living in Western Canada was high among these early Canadian settlers and one could argue that Riel's actions destroyed any chance of a peaceful and possibly more successful integration into Canada's new colonies. Always hard to say what could have been but the arrival of troops and hardening of feelings did not serve the Metis well in the following years. Of course if Riel had not stood up to the colonisation of Western Canada the Metis of today might have no legal status or recognition at all, maybe not even their own history.

Were lincolns actions justified?

Whether or not Lincoln's actions were justified is a matter of opinion. His actions had two purposes: he wanted to preserve the union and he wanted to end slavery. Compare that with perhaps one million men dead. In my opinion his actions were justified. You will have to decide for yourself.
