Source III portrays that Canadian nationalism was created by the victory of the Battle of Vimy Ridge and how the battle unified and strengthened Canada as a nation. The source embraces civic nationalism and illustrates how a strong sense of patriotism for one’s country can be founded and can further inspire and establish nationalism. For example, the Canadian soldiers that fought at Vimy Ridge were patriotic and fought for Canada, and the results and rewards of the battle were significant to the war.

The Red River Colony was a part of Rupert 's land, the Metis were afraid of losing their rights and land. Since Louis Riel was
Louis Riel became fed up with the Canadian government. He organized a group of people as the leader with the Métis and Natives in order to rebel against the government. He lead the people in the North-West to believe that the government is mistreating them. Riel decision to rebel was solely made by himself.

Was It Justice? I don’t think Louis Riel received justice from the government. I think Riel should’ve been pardoned. This is because Riel was trying to protect the right of the Metis. He had tried to use non violent solutions like petitions but the government wouldn’t listen.
During the North West Rebellion in 1885, Riel wrote the Bill of Rights, which further improved the conditions of the Métis. This made Riel a defender and a supporter to the Metis rights and culture. Another thing that stands out was he tried his best to not have any injuries or deaths in his battles; however, the Canadian government kept ignoring and disregarding their demand. During the Battle at Duck Lake, Riel plan was to surround Crozier’s men and intimidate them and hope to take them hostage without a battle. He tried to use methods that were peaceful to achieve what they wanted, but the rebellion and fighting against Canada were inevitable.
In 1884, the Métis people sought help from Louis Riel to help them grab the attention of the Canadian government who had been ignoring their complaints and petitions, and treating them as lower class citizens. They needed Riel to be the effective voice to speak on their behalf in order to obtain rights to elections and such so that their land was not threatened by immigrants from the east due to past experiences. After attempting to fight the Battle of Batoche, he was accused of high treason, and a five-day trial was held of which Riel had pleaded guilty and was then sentenced to death. The trial of Louis Riel suffered many imperfections and did not contain the number of merits as one would have thought. Riel was deprived of justice and mercy
Terrified and worried because of that incident, Louis Riel escaped to the United States in 1870 when the Metis needed him the most. When Riel came back, responsibility had to be taken for Riel 's actions. There was a fine of $5000 for whoever finds the murderer of Thomas Scott. For that reason, Louis had to spend 5 years out of Canada. He was banished from Canada and still came since at one point of his life he became insane thinking that he was a prophet.

In 1869, the Metis rised a rebellion against the transfer of their territories from the Hudson’s Bay Company to the Dominion of Canada , and Louis Riel was their leader. After years of leadership and success , in 1884 Louis Riel was involved in another rebellion , but this was quickly crushed by the military might of the Canadian government , and Louis Riel surrendered.

As a result the Red River Rebellion ensued. A leader quickly arose to the forefront to help pursue the interest of the minority party and to hearken the attention of the privileged Angelo Canadian ran government. This leader was none other than Louis Riel. At "Almost twenty- four years of age, educated, clever, imbued with a strong sense of pride in himeslf and in his own people..."

Louis Riel Sienna Wallwork Louis Riel was a traitor. He went against the Canadian government, and killed Thomas Scott. Even though he was standing up for the rights of his people, it was wrong of him to rebel against the government and to kill someone. However, he could be viewed as a hero.
Canada is now known to be a diverse, multicultural, bilingual and inclusive nation largely as a result of his work. Pierre Elliott Trudeau also believed in an equal Canada for all, he is primarily the one to introduce rights and freedoms to the citizens of Canada. While some view Pierre Trudeau as impulsive, for enforcing the War Measures Act, Trudeau enacted this for the protection of Canadian citizens against radical extremist and his actions were more rational than impulsive for the situation that had suddenly occurred.
