Rupert's Land joined Confederation primarily due to economic and political factors. The region, controlled by the Hudson's Bay Company, faced challenges such as declining fur trade and external pressures from the United States. Confederation offered the promise of economic development, infrastructure improvements, and protection against American expansion. Ultimately, the desire for stability and growth led to Rupert's Land becoming part of Canada in 1870.

Was the Metis action led by Louis Riel in 1869 1870 a true rebellion?
Not at all. They were not under Canadian rule, they had not even been invited into the Confederation. Canada calls it a rebellion because they claimed to have purchased the Metis when they bought Ruperts Land. Of course they never asked the Metis or anyone living in Ruperts Land, so no surprise that some decided they wanted to talk about it. In 1869 the people of Western Canada were only resisting a takeover, an occupation. You cannot rebel if you are not part of the country to begin with.

The Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) sold Rupert's Land primarily to raise capital and reduce its operational costs. The sale in 1869 to the Canadian government was part of a strategic decision to focus on its core business while allowing the Canadian Confederation to expand westward. Additionally, the changing economic landscape and pressures from settlers and the government made it increasingly untenable for HBC to govern and develop the vast territory effectively.
