John Alexander Macdonald was the first Prime Minister of Canada and a key architect of Canadian Confederation, advocating for a strong centralized government and the expansion of Canada westward. In contrast, Louis Riel was a Métis leader and a fervent advocate for the rights of Indigenous peoples, particularly during the Red River and North-West Rebellions, where he fought for Métis land rights and cultural recognition. While Macdonald focused on nation-building and economic development, Riel aimed to protect the rights and heritage of the Métis and Indigenous communities. Their legacies reflect differing visions for Canada: one centered on national unity and expansion, the other on indigenous rights and cultural preservation.
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.
Louis Riel was convicted of treason and sentenced to death.
