Read the following passage.
A. In May 1885, after the fighting at Batoche ended in defeat for the Métis, Louis Riel surrendered and was taken to Regina for trial. Of the 84 trials that followed the conflict, his was the only one for high treason, a charge under an English law of 1352 that carried a mandatory death penalty. A doctor called by the defence said that Riel suffered from megalomania, yet before his sentence Riel said he was satisfied that he had not been regarded as insane. On August 1 a jury of six found him guilty but recommended mercy. His appeals were dismissed, and he was hanged in Regina on November 16, 1885.
B. Riel was born on October 22, 1844, in the Red River Settlement, now in Manitoba, and in 1858 was sent to school in Montréal. By 1869 Canada was negotiating with the Hudson's Bay Company to take over Rupert's Land, which included Red River, and on October 11 a group of Métis that included Riel stopped a government land survey. In December a provisional government was formed, and Riel soon became its president. Delegates he chose then negotiated with Ottawa, and under the Manitoba Act, Manitoba, the name Riel favoured, became a province on July 15, 1870.
C. On March 4, 1870, Thomas Scott, an Irishman arrested by the Métis, was put to death after a Métis tribunal sentenced him, and Riel rejected appeals to save him. His motives are still debated; one may have been to show Canada that the Métis government had to be taken seriously. In Ontario the killing became a major issue, and many people, then and later, have called it his one great political blunder. Riel was elected to the House of Commons three times but was expelled twice. He later spent more than a year and a half in two Quebec asylums, then settled in Montana, where he became an American citizen in 1883.
D. Riel's death sentence divided the country. Thousands of French Canadians signed petitions asking for it to be changed, arguing that he was insane or that his crime was political, while many counter-petitions came from Ontario. Views of him have stayed divided. In 1885 most settlers in the West regarded him as a villain, while the Métis see him as a hero, and French Canadians have long seen him as a victim of prejudice. In 1992 the Parliament of Canada and the Manitoba legislature formally recognized his role, and that of the Métis, as founder of Manitoba.
