yes he was a good leader and he never ruled the land or the people he was never a ruler.
Louis Riel is considered by many to have been a good leader because he stood firmly for what he believed in, but was also willing to compromise. Riel founded the province of Manitoba, and was a strong advocate for the Metis people, an aboriginal group in Canada.
i came here for this to be answered. he wanted to help give the Metis people rights, as opposed to the Canadian Government.
Louis Riel did not kill Thomas Scott. --------------------------------- Riel's government had Scott tried for defying the governments authority. Five of the seven members of the court, lead by Lieutenant A. Lapine, voted for the execution. Another government, from far away, representing other people, acted on their authority and traveled to the West and killed Riel. It was that government that gave us the narrative that Riel killed Scott. The reasons for Scotts execution, as for Riel's are many. Scott was violent and challenging the validity of the government selected by local people. He was also threatening life's and had already escaped and make it clear that should he be released or escape again he would kill many people, particularly Catholic people no doubt. Fear was part of the reason, and it was important that people respect the legitimate government of the people.
He were good leader Because good student at the college DE Montreal and received a broad education in languages including English and the sciences.
Yes, he and his provisional government in 1870, January I believe
Louis Riel was a Métis political leader who led two resistance movements against the Canadian government. While he was tried and executed for treason, his actions were rooted in the defense of Métis rights and autonomy rather than criminal behavior. Riel is now recognized as a key figure in Canadian history for his advocacy of Métis rights.
In 1885 Louis Riel was the leader of the Metis and first Nations people of western Canada against the Canadian government. After his capture in the North-West Rebellion, he stood trial and was found guilty of treason. He was then hanged.
The Red River Rebellion or "Red River Resistance" are the names given to the events surrounding the actions of a provisional government established by Metis leader Louis Riel in 1869 at the Red River Settlement in what is now the Canadian province of Manitoba.
Louis Riel set out to defend the rights and interests of the Métis people in Western Canada, including their land, culture, and rights. He also sought to create a provisional government to negotiate with the Canadian government and secure recognition for the Métis community. Riel's ultimate goal was to establish a homeland for the Métis within confederation.
AnswerIt was legal. Under the law during that time, a provisional government is allowed to be set up if the acting one (The Council of Assiniboia in this case) was not recognized by the people. Louis Riel and the other Métis did not recognize this government, so they set up their own provisional government.
The question is insulting. Louis Riel was a highly respected leader of his people.
Sir Louis-Hippolyte La Fontaine
Because he opposed Metis leader Louis Riel by calling all the metis a bunch of cowards and other insults. He threatened Riel to escape his prison and personally kill him. Then, riel tried him adn passsed and Scott was within 24 hours in front of a firing squad which then killed him.
LOUIS xiv
Louis Riel's ability to articulate the grievances and aspirations of the Metis people, his charisma and passion for their cause, his strategic thinking and adaptability in negotiations with the Canadian government, and his courage and willingness to take a stand for his people's rights all contributed to making him a natural leader of the Metis.
