Louis Riel Was a proud leader of the Metis. and was against the Canadians taking over their land
Louis Riel would not give up the land to the Canadians
As he thought the land was his.
This brings us to our first conclusion why he was a traitor because the Canadians weren't trying to take away their land but simply trying to make a route for transportation of food and people. stopping them from doing that shows hes a traitor
Riel was blamed for helping the Metis sooo...
Riel fled from Canada because he was a wanted man. He fled to the united states for many years of his life
This brings us to our 2nd conclusion as to why Louis Riel is a traitor. Well right after he fought the Canadians he ran for his life. Cause if he was a hero he would have died for the metis to make them more memorable.
But Riel soon went back to be the voice and heart of the Metis
As Riel came back as the voice for the Metis Canada thought this was Treason.
And was put on death row.
this brings us to our 3rd conclusion as to why he was a traitor. The only reason Riel came back was to vindicate himself by fighting for Metis Thinking he would get a free pass.
The Jury has decided to hang you for committing treason and for trying to vindicate yourself
We also think hes a traitor because even though he did all those things for the metis even still they were barley recognized
this is our 4th conclusion because We think Louis Riel was a traitor because not only did he commit treason he was not trying to be a voice for the Metis he was only trying to vindicate himeself
This is why Me (Trae) and Andreas thought Louis Riel was a traitor.
