Louis Riel was blamed for the execution of Thomas Scott by the Canadian government and many in the English-speaking community at the time, particularly those opposed to Riel's leadership in the Red River Rebellion. Scott, a Protestant and a vocal opponent of Riel's Métis government, was executed in 1870, which sparked outrage and fueled tensions between English and French Canadians. Riel's role as the leader of the Métis and his decision to order Scott's execution made him a controversial figure and a scapegoat for those who opposed the rebellion.
Riel's trial lasted five days.
