The Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) sold Rupert's Land primarily to focus on its core business of fur trading and to address financial pressures. By the mid-19th century, the fur trade was declining, and the HBC sought to capitalize on the land's value through sale rather than continued management. The land was ultimately sold to the Canadian government in 1869, facilitating the expansion of Canada westward and promoting settlement in the region. This sale also helped the HBC stabilize its finances and shift its operations towards more profitable ventures.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Why did Ruperts land join confederation?
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.

Canada, Britain and the Hudson Bay Company.

When it became clear that Canada was not going to acknowledge their claims any means necessary meant trying to use force to defend their lands. That didn't work out too good.
