∙ 9y agoBecause he took arms against the British government troops, the Canadian authorities considered him a traitor. To the Metis people he was a champion trying to prevent the Canadian government from reclaiming the territory formerly held by the Hudson Bay Company. See the link below for more information on Louis Riel.
_______________
Riel did not fight British Government troops. He fought against Canadian troops, troops sent from Canada in the form of a militia and troops in the form of the para-military group the NWMP as well as some local Canadian supporters.
To Canada Riel was a traitor because Canada considered him part of their purchase of Ruperts Land from the Hudson Bay Company. As such they considered him Canadian and when he fought for his rightful ownership of his land he could be nothing but a traitor, a rebel.
_______________
The Canadian government had to call upon a British law from 1342 to execute Louis Riel Jr, because no Canadian law allowed for the punishment they wanted.
Enacting a foreign law in Canada, is the real act of treason, and "Sir" John A MacDonald was a staunch and unwavering supporter of said decision.

∙ 11y agoLouis Riel was a villain because he wouldn't let Canada onto their own land (Rupert's Land/Red River) like he didn't let the surveyor onto his cousin's farm, which was Canada's. The HBC gave Canada Rupert's Land/Red River, which the Metis barged right into. So its technically not their land, so Canada can do whatever they want to it, but Louis Riel is like an obstacle in their way.

Is Louis Riel sane or insane?
The best brief description of Louis Riel is "clever but unbalanced." Riel's sanity during the so-called Red River Rebellion (the formation of the provisional government in 1868-70) is questionable. His legal analysis of the situation which led to the formation of the provisional government, however, was quite sound. There is little doubt among historians concerning the period during which he led the North West Rebellion of 1885. Riel was then clearly not sane.
