The Northwest Rebellion

Cause: The Métis fear that they might lose their land again just like how they lost their land during the Red River Resistance in 1869.

Effect: Louis Riel comes back from the U.S. to help the Métis get their land back. Cree chief Big Bear and Blackfoot chief Crowfeet were prepared to support Riel.

Cause: Riel came back to Canada after hiding in the U.S. for a few years. MacDonald took this chance to take down Riel.

Effect: Riel was arrested and later hanged.

Cause: The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) was almost completed.

Effect: The North-West Mounted Police formed in 1873 can
be sent to fight Riel's troops quickly.

Cause: The Buerella method worked always worked
during battles

Effect: In the Battle of Duck Lake, when Dumont
used that method, it lead to victory.

Cause: Thomas Quinn, an Indian agent, treated
the Cree badly.

Effect 1: xxx

Cause: MacDonald wanted Riel to be hanged (for
treason and later was)

Effect: Since lots of people in Quebec looked up
to Riel, MacDonald lost a large amount of votes
from Quebec.

Cause: Riel was not happy with Dumont's progress
against the government. Riel told Dumont to stop the guerilla
campaign and defend Batoche.

Effect: This turned out to be a military mistake and Riel
was forced to surrender. Riel got arrested and Dumont
fled to the U.S.
