When Louis Riel killed Scott?
NOTE: Louis Riel did not personally kill Thomas Scott. Scott was executed by firing squad.Thomas Scott was in jail because he was captured while leading an armed force with the intention of overthrowing Riel's government. He was killed because he was the most violent prisoner there and he made death threats to Louis Riel, he escaped and said he would return and kill Louis Riel so Riel killed him because he was afraid that if he didn't Thomas Scott would kill him. While Riel did not reach out and shoot Scott himself he did order it and the reason certainly includes fear. It also includes authority. Riel was a leader selected by some of those who lived in the area to be part of the government representing the citizens.Those who did not recognize that government's authority were threats to the government and people. One of the best ways to assert a government's authority is to use force, to kill people, a right governments had automatically in those days.That Riel had the backing of most of the people in Manitoba was proven when, after Manitoba was made a province, he was elected as an MP even though he was in exile.
