The reward for the capture of Louis Riel during the North-West Rebellion in Canada was set at $5,000. This amount was offered by the Canadian government in 1885 as an incentive for anyone who could help apprehend him. Riel was eventually captured and tried for treason, leading to his execution in November 1885.
The practice by which slave owners emancipated their slaves was known as "manumission." This process allowed slave owners to grant freedom to individual slaves, often as a reward for loyalty, service, or other reasons. Manumission varied by region and was more common in some areas than others, influenced by social, economic, and legal factors.
