5)
Was Riel's idea of a provisional government productive?
No, it just caused more war
No, they had no right try to overthrow the Canadian government.
Yes, they needed to stand up for their rights.
Yes, it guided the way for better Metis rights in the future Canadian government.
6)
Riel feared that if Governor McDougall were allowed to take control of The Red River Settlement, he would give members of the Canadian Party all of the power and ignore the Metis.
Yes, but not to that extreme. He would still give a little power to the Metis.
Yes, McDougall had no respect for the Metis at all and would have given them no power whatsoever.
No, he didnt have too much respect for the Metis but he is a fair man and still would have given the same amount of power to both the Metis and the Canadian Party.
Yes, but he should agreed with McDougall to give the Canadian Party all the power because the Metis didnt deserve any power.
7)
Were Riel's efforts peaceful enough during the Red River Rebellion?
Yes, he was only fought to defend himself.
Yes, he did not need to be any more peaceful then he already was to make his point.
No, he should have been a little more careful about when to use violence as a solution.
No, the Canadians would have solved things peacefully if Riel didnt attack.
8)
Did Thomas Scott deserve to be executed?
Yes, he publicized inequality within Canadians which went against the way Canada should be.
Yes, he was too much of a burden for the Provisional government to deal with.
No, he had a right to express his views.
No, he was right in what he did and said and should have been praised for his attempts, not killed.
9)
Did the Canadian Government's refusal to respect Metis rights start the Northwest rebellion?
Yes, if they would have given the Metis the rights that they deserved then everyone would have gotten along.
Yes, but they did not deserve rights anyway so there was nothing the government could have done.
No, it was caused by Europeans killing too many of the buffallo and therefore the Metis had to resort to other foods.
No, Riel focused too much on violence and let the Metis get out of hand for no reason.
10)
Was the Government's response warranted?
Yes, the Metis attacked them so they had to defend themselves.
Yes, they needed to show the Metis who was boss.
No, they should have given the Metis whatever they were asking for.
No, they should have approached the Metis in a more peaceful manner.
11)
Should Riel have focused his help on fighting against the Canadian government instead of praying for the Metis to win?
Yes, he should not have attacked the government at all.
Yes, he did npt know what he was doing at anytime therefore causing an unneeded dispute.
No, he did the right thing sticking up for the Metis and their rights he showed the government that the Metis weren't going to sit back and take their abuse.
No, he was not insane by the time the Metis attacked.
12)
Should Riel have focused his help on fighting against the Canadian government instead of praying for the Metis to win?
Yes, if he wanted to show his true leadership he would have helped his people fight.
No, if he actually fought then he might have actually helped the Metis win the war that they did not deserve to win.
No, whatever Louis Riel thought was the best thing for the Metis must have been right.
No, I would rather that he be safe so he could make other decisions for the Metis, instead of risking his life while fighting.
13)
Did Riel have too large of an ego?
Yes, he did not care what happened he just wanted to be remembered in history.
Yes, which caused him to make terrible decisions that effected both the Metis and the Canadian government.
No, he was very humble and made his decisions based on what he thought was the best way for the Metis to earn their rights.
No, he had great plans for the future of the Metis and that is what mattered.
A bit, but he mostly did things for the good of the Metis.
14)
Was the Northwest Rebellion a failure for the Metis?
Yes, they did not get the rights they demanded.
No, they sent a message to future Canadians that the Metis deserved better rights.
Yes, all they managed to do was start a war in which Canadian Soldiers died.
No, they showed that they were not cowards who did nothing for there rights.
15)
Should Riel have turned himself in?
Yes, it stopped the fighting between the Metis and the Government.
No he should have fought to the death to prove if he was actually loyal to his cause.
No, he could have helped the Metis more ways if he was safe.
Yes, this made it so he was able to be executed for the crime of treason faster.
16)
Should Riel have been less caring about his image when he pleaded that he was not insane in court when being insane might have saved his life?
Yes, he should have understood that the Metis would rather have had him alive then for him to protect their image.
No, this made it so he was sentenced to death.
Yes, but he could not because he had to much of an ego to say that he was insane, even if it were to save his life.
No, the image and hope that this man being declared not insane brought to the Metis was more important than his life.
17)
Was it fair that he entire jury was white protestant? Did it effect his final sentence?
Yes it was fair, because those were the most important people in that time who were able to make the best decisions.
Yes it was fair, because they picked the Jury randomly and it happened to be that this is the way that it came out.
No it wasn't fair, they had an automatic bias which made them unfair people to judge the trial.
No it wasn't fair, they should have had an equal amount of Metis and white people on the jury.
18)
Did Riel deserve the sentence of High treason?
Yes, because he fought against the Canadian government which is high treason.
Yes, because they needed to teach the rest of the Metis that if any of them try to rise up against the Canadian government they would be severely punished.
No, the jury was right; he was guilty but should have had a more lenient sentence because of his just cause.
No, he should not have had any punishment for trying to make justice within Canada for its people.
