The document provides background information on the Red River and Northwest Rebellions led by Louis Riel in the late 1800s. It details the key events that led to the rebellions, including the Canadian government's purchase of Rupert's Land without Metis input, surveyors being sent without permission, and the formation of the Metis provisional government. The document also lists the 20 rights and demands adopted by the Metis and provides timelines of the Red River Rebellion and Riel's subsequent exile and role in sparking the Northwest Rebellion in 1885.
The document summarizes the Red River Resistance led by Louis Riel and the Métis people against the Canadian government in Manitoba in the 1870s. The Métis resisted the sale of Rupert's Land by the Hudson's Bay Company to Canada because it threatened their land, culture, and autonomy. Louis Riel organized the Métis to take over Fort Garry and establish a provisional government to negotiate with Canada. This led to tensions and the execution of Thomas Scott, fueling outrage in English Canada. Ultimately, the Manitoba Act was passed creating the province but promises to the Métis were only partially fulfilled.

The document summarizes key events that shaped the American revolutionary movement, including the French and Indian War, the 1765 Stamp Act imposed by Britain to tax the colonies, and colonists' response of "no taxation without representation." Specifically, it mentions the Quartering Act of 1765 that required colonists to house British soldiers, fueling colonial outrage over being forced to support the British troops. It also outlines how the Stamp Act taxed printed materials like newspapers and led colonists to feel Britain had no right to tax them without their consent.
The Red River Rebellion began in 1869 when the Métis people of the Red River Valley (in present-day Manitoba) resisted the Canadian government's attempt to establish control over the territory. Led by Louis Riel, the Métis seized forts and established a provisional government to negotiate terms for Manitoba's entry into Confederation. Tensions escalated when Riel's government executed Thomas Scott, an English prisoner. The Canadian government then sent military forces to end the rebellion and bring the territory under its control, forcing Riel to flee to the United States.
The document summarizes key events in the formation of Canada as a country, including the purchase of Alaska from Russia, the Hudson's Bay Company selling Rupert's Land and the North-Western Territory to Canada, the resistance led by Louis Riel and the Metis people in the Red River Settlement, the creation of Manitoba, and British Columbia joining confederation. Key figures mentioned include William Seward, Louis Riel, John A. Macdonald, and George-Etienne Cartier.
Louis Riel was a Métis leader in Manitoba and the Northwest Territories in Canada in the late 1800s. He fought for Métis rights and led the Red River Rebellion and Northwest Rebellion, establishing the short-lived Provisional Government of Manitoba. Riel was eventually found guilty of high treason for his role in the Northwest Rebellion and was hanged in 1885, making him a controversial figure as either a hero or menace in Canadian history.
This lesson will follow the lesson on Aboriginal people in Canada. As usual we will go through it slide by slide together. Your homework is on the last slide.
The Metis people of Manitoba were angered by surveyors dividing up land using square blocks instead of the traditional long-lot system. Louis Riel emerged as a leader of the Metis and helped establish the National Committee to negotiate with the government for Metis rights to land, language, and religion. The Metis seized Fort Gary headquarters in 1869 without violence. Riel then set up a Provisional Government and negotiated the List of Rights, demanding protections for the Metis people. However, Thomas Scott opposed Metis rights and was executed for insubordination, sparking outrage in Canada. This led the Canadian government to pass the Manitoba Act in 1870, creating the province with protections for French language and separate school systems

Question 1Your power plant on Gilligan's Island is producing too much air pollution. You have three choices for dealing with this problem.1. You can pay a pollution tax (one time) of $10m immediately.2. You can close the plant and install a power cable from the mainland. That will cost you $1m at the end of this year, $3m at the end of next year (construction costs) and then $.05m forever after that for maintenance.3. You can retrofit the plant switch scrubbers to reduce the emissions. That will cost $9m at the end of this year and $.01m forever after that for maintenance.Assume that the cost of generating power on the mainland is approximately the same as the cost of generating power at your Gilligan's Island plant and assume your cost of capital (WACC) is 10%.

The document discusses the events leading up to the American Revolution from the 1700s through the Revolutionary War in the 1770s. It describes how England's debts from the French and Indian War led them to impose taxes on the American colonies through acts like the Stamp Act and Tea Act. Tensions rose and the Boston Tea Party occurred in protest. The Intolerable Acts in response sparked the First Continental Congress and ultimately war between the colonies and Britain, culminating in American independence being recognized in the Treaty of Paris in 1783.
Louis Riel was an influential Métis leader in Canada in the late 19th century who led two rebellions against the Canadian government to protect Métis rights and land. The document discusses how Canada may have developed differently without Riel's influence, as the Métis people would have faced even worse treatment and assimilation without his leadership. It also explores Riel's role in the Red River Rebellion and the Northwest Rebellion, and how his execution made him a controversial figure seen as both a hero and traitor.
Events that led_to_the_american_civil_warJonah Howard
The document summarizes key events that led to the American Civil War:
1. Economic and political tensions grew between the industrial North and agricultural South. The North opposed slavery's expansion while the South defended it.
2. The Mexican-American War and subsequent territorial acquisitions exacerbated tensions over the balance of slave and free states.
3. Events like the Kansas-Nebraska Act, Bleeding Kansas, and Dred Scott decision further polarized the nation on the issue of slavery in the territories.
4. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president as the first Republican, prompting Southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America.
The document summarizes the events leading up to the American Revolution. It describes the tensions between British colonists and Parliament over new taxes being imposed without colonial representation. Key events included the Stamp Act and Boston Tea Party protests, as well as the Intolerable Acts passed by Britain in response. This led the colonies to form the First Continental Congress and start militias in preparation for war, which began with the Battles of Lexington and Concord where colonists fought British soldiers.
The document summarizes several key events that led to the American Revolution, including the imposition of new taxes by the British Parliament on the American colonies without colonial representation. This included the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, and Intolerable Acts, angering the colonists and strengthening resistance. The Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party were significant acts of colonial protest. The First and Second Continental Congresses were formed to organize colonial resistance, leading ultimately to the Declaration of Independence and start of the Revolutionary War with the Battles of Lexington and Concord.
The document summarizes key events in the history of the English colonies in North America and their eventual independence. It discusses how Parliament passed laws restricting colonial trade and industry to benefit Britain. The colonists protested "taxation without representation" and began smuggling goods. Tensions increased with acts like the Stamp Act and Intolerable Acts. The Boston Tea Party and battles of Lexington and Concord marked a turning point. The Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776. American forces gained a key victory at Saratoga with help from European allies like France. The Revolutionary War ended with American independence recognized in the 1783 Treaty of Paris. Delegates then drafted the U.S. Constitution, which was ratified after an
The document outlines the events surrounding the Red River Resistance led by Louis Riel and the Metis people against the Canadian government's plans to expand westward. It details how the Metis formed a provisional government under Riel to negotiate terms for Manitoba's entry into Confederation. Though negotiations led to the Manitoba Act and provincehood, violence and discrimination against the Metis continued in the following years, prompting many to disperse further west where tensions would again rise and spark the Northwest Resistance.
Louis Riel was an influential Métis leader in Canada in the late 19th century. He led two rebellions - the Red River Rebellion of 1869-70 and the North-West Rebellion of 1885 - to advocate for Métis rights and land claims. Riel's political actions set the foundations for the province of Manitoba and he played a key role in Métis resistance against the Canadian government, though he was eventually executed for treason in 1885.
Connecticut was one of the original 13 colonies and became a state on January 9, 1788. It was first inhabited by Native American tribes and later settled by colonists from Massachusetts seeking religious freedom. The colony grew as more settlers purchased land from the Native Americans and established permanent settlements along the Connecticut River. Religion played a major role in colonial Connecticut society, with the Puritan faith initially being the only legal religion. The economy relied on agriculture, fishing, and industries like shipbuilding and fur trading.
The document discusses the history and development of Minnesota from 1783 to 1858. It provides lessons learned for community development based on Minnesota's experience, including the importance of preparation, timing, inclusiveness, sustainability, finding opportunities in small niches, building constituencies, turning negatives into positives, investing in education, and planning for transitions. Key figures like Benjamin Franklin, Jedidiah Morse, Lewis Cass, Lord Selkirk, James J. Hill, and Norman Kittson played important roles in Minnesota's early development.
The Red River Settlement was established by Métis leader Louis Riel, who argued that the land was reserved for Métis people. Riel convinced the government to set aside land called Manitoba separate from Rupert's Land. However, the small area set aside of only 560,000 hectares did not satisfy the Métis. The Manitoba Act aimed to give Métis citizens rights, but promises of land grants were broken as scrip was issued instead of land, leaving the Métis feeling cheated. Broken promises led to the 1885 Northwest Rebellion led by Gabriel Dumont using hit-and-run tactics. The rebellion ended with Riel's capture and hanging for treason.
The document summarizes key developments in America during the 19th century. It describes changes in everyday life, technology, transportation, politics, the economy, art, education and immigration. America transitioned from a largely agricultural society to an increasingly industrialized and urbanized nation, while also expanding its territory and dealing with tensions over slavery. Education remained limited for many groups during this transformative period in American history.

John Walton is a loyalist who documents key events of the American Revolution from his perspective. As tensions rise between patriots and loyalists, Walton expresses frustration with the patriots' growing rebelliousness towards British rule. He witnesses the Boston Massacre and Battle of Lexington and Concord, where patriots and British troops clash. When the Declaration of Independence is signed and the British surrender at Yorktown, effectively ending the war, Walton realizes the loyalist cause is lost and he must accept American independence from Britain.

The document discusses the events leading up to the American Revolution from the 1700s through the Revolutionary War in the 1770s. It describes how England's debts from the French and Indian War led them to impose taxes on the American colonies through acts like the Stamp Act and Tea Act. Tensions rose and the Boston Tea Party occurred in protest. The Intolerable Acts in response sparked the First Continental Congress and ultimately war between the colonies and Britain, culminating in American independence being recognized in the Treaty of Paris in 1783.
Louis Riel was an influential Métis leader in Canada in the late 19th century who led two rebellions against the Canadian government to protect Métis rights and land. The document discusses how Canada may have developed differently without Riel's influence, as the Métis people would have faced even worse treatment and assimilation without his leadership. It also explores Riel's role in the Red River Rebellion and the Northwest Rebellion, and how his execution made him a controversial figure seen as both a hero and traitor.
Events that led_to_the_american_civil_warJonah Howard
The document summarizes key events that led to the American Civil War:
1. Economic and political tensions grew between the industrial North and agricultural South. The North opposed slavery's expansion while the South defended it.
2. The Mexican-American War and subsequent territorial acquisitions exacerbated tensions over the balance of slave and free states.
3. Events like the Kansas-Nebraska Act, Bleeding Kansas, and Dred Scott decision further polarized the nation on the issue of slavery in the territories.
4. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president as the first Republican, prompting Southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America.
The document summarizes the events leading up to the American Revolution. It describes the tensions between British colonists and Parliament over new taxes being imposed without colonial representation. Key events included the Stamp Act and Boston Tea Party protests, as well as the Intolerable Acts passed by Britain in response. This led the colonies to form the First Continental Congress and start militias in preparation for war, which began with the Battles of Lexington and Concord where colonists fought British soldiers.
The document summarizes several key events that led to the American Revolution, including the imposition of new taxes by the British Parliament on the American colonies without colonial representation. This included the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, and Intolerable Acts, angering the colonists and strengthening resistance. The Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party were significant acts of colonial protest. The First and Second Continental Congresses were formed to organize colonial resistance, leading ultimately to the Declaration of Independence and start of the Revolutionary War with the Battles of Lexington and Concord.
The document summarizes key events in the history of the English colonies in North America and their eventual independence. It discusses how Parliament passed laws restricting colonial trade and industry to benefit Britain. The colonists protested "taxation without representation" and began smuggling goods. Tensions increased with acts like the Stamp Act and Intolerable Acts. The Boston Tea Party and battles of Lexington and Concord marked a turning point. The Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776. American forces gained a key victory at Saratoga with help from European allies like France. The Revolutionary War ended with American independence recognized in the 1783 Treaty of Paris. Delegates then drafted the U.S. Constitution, which was ratified after an
The document outlines the events surrounding the Red River Resistance led by Louis Riel and the Metis people against the Canadian government's plans to expand westward. It details how the Metis formed a provisional government under Riel to negotiate terms for Manitoba's entry into Confederation. Though negotiations led to the Manitoba Act and provincehood, violence and discrimination against the Metis continued in the following years, prompting many to disperse further west where tensions would again rise and spark the Northwest Resistance.
Louis Riel was an influential Métis leader in Canada in the late 19th century. He led two rebellions - the Red River Rebellion of 1869-70 and the North-West Rebellion of 1885 - to advocate for Métis rights and land claims. Riel's political actions set the foundations for the province of Manitoba and he played a key role in Métis resistance against the Canadian government, though he was eventually executed for treason in 1885.
Connecticut was one of the original 13 colonies and became a state on January 9, 1788. It was first inhabited by Native American tribes and later settled by colonists from Massachusetts seeking religious freedom. The colony grew as more settlers purchased land from the Native Americans and established permanent settlements along the Connecticut River. Religion played a major role in colonial Connecticut society, with the Puritan faith initially being the only legal religion. The economy relied on agriculture, fishing, and industries like shipbuilding and fur trading.
The document discusses the history and development of Minnesota from 1783 to 1858. It provides lessons learned for community development based on Minnesota's experience, including the importance of preparation, timing, inclusiveness, sustainability, finding opportunities in small niches, building constituencies, turning negatives into positives, investing in education, and planning for transitions. Key figures like Benjamin Franklin, Jedidiah Morse, Lewis Cass, Lord Selkirk, James J. Hill, and Norman Kittson played important roles in Minnesota's early development.
The Red River Settlement was established by Métis leader Louis Riel, who argued that the land was reserved for Métis people. Riel convinced the government to set aside land called Manitoba separate from Rupert's Land. However, the small area set aside of only 560,000 hectares did not satisfy the Métis. The Manitoba Act aimed to give Métis citizens rights, but promises of land grants were broken as scrip was issued instead of land, leaving the Métis feeling cheated. Broken promises led to the 1885 Northwest Rebellion led by Gabriel Dumont using hit-and-run tactics. The rebellion ended with Riel's capture and hanging for treason.
The document summarizes key developments in America during the 19th century. It describes changes in everyday life, technology, transportation, politics, the economy, art, education and immigration. America transitioned from a largely agricultural society to an increasingly industrialized and urbanized nation, while also expanding its territory and dealing with tensions over slavery. Education remained limited for many groups during this transformative period in American history.

John Walton is a loyalist who documents key events of the American Revolution from his perspective. As tensions rise between patriots and loyalists, Walton expresses frustration with the patriots' growing rebelliousness towards British rule. He witnesses the Boston Massacre and Battle of Lexington and Concord, where patriots and British troops clash. When the Declaration of Independence is signed and the British surrender at Yorktown, effectively ending the war, Walton realizes the loyalist cause is lost and he must accept American independence from Britain.

7. Louis Riel’s exile
S After the death of George Cartier, Riel decided to run for a seat in the House of
Commons and won. Due to the fact that Riel had a warrant for his arrest in Ontario, he
never was able to take his seat, even though he was re-elected twice (Flanagan, 10).
S During this time, Riel became increasingly religious, nationalistic, and allies with Ignace
Bourget, the Bishop of Montreal (Flanagan, 10).
S In early 1875, Mackenzie broke this stalemate by voting on Riel’s expulsion and exile
from Canada for 5 years (Flanagan, 11).
S During exile, friends of Riel became worried about his mental state and committed him
to the Asylum of Longue Pointe (Flanagan, 11).
S Worried about a scandal, Riel’s relatives relocated him to the asylum at Beauport, where
he declared himself “The Prophet of the New World” and insisting that he was not, in
fact, a madman (Flanagan, 11-12)
8. Why Did The Northwest Rebellion
Happen?
S In January 1878, Riel was discharged from
Beauport asylum, cured “more or less”
according to his doctor (Flanagan, 14).
S The Canadian government sent
surveyors, who divided the land unfairly
according to the Metis (Flanagan, 16).
S In June 1884, a delegation of Metis, led by
Gabriel Dumont arrived at the St. Laurent
settlement to discuss grievances about this
unfair land system and mistreatment of
Aboriginals (Flanagan, 16).
9. Northwest Rebellion Timeline
S 1885, March – Riel returned from exile and seized power
(Morton, 122-123).
S At Duck Lake, Louis hoped to capture police as hostages, but allowed
the survivors to return home (Morton, 123).
S CPR brought in 5000 militia, volunteers and regulars to “negotiate”
with the Metis, even though their real plan was to use the unfinished
railway tracks to bring in weapons and soldiers (Morton, 123).
S 1885, May 12 – Middleton captured Batoche and Riel surrendered
(Morton, 123).
10. Trial and Execution of Louis Riel
S After the conflicts at Fish Creek, Batoche, and Cut Knife, Riel
surrendered himself and was put on trial from July - August 1885 for
treason, for which the only punishment was death (Flanagan, 20).
S The strategy of Riel’s lawyers was to argue that he was not guilty for
“reasons of insanity,” however, whenever he got the chance, Riel
defended his sanity, his actions, and his morals (Flanagan, 20).
S The jury obviously did not believe Riel nor his consul, so they quickly
deliberated and sentenced Riel to hang on the early morning of
November 16, 1885 (Flanagan, 21).

12. Final Comment
The Red River and Northwest Rebellions were important
events in Canadian history because both influenced future
government decisions that had to do with human rights and
was also revolutionary for Metis rights years later.
