After The Battle
Why did they fight?
After the battle three Canadian soldiers stole the bell, Marie Antoinette and brought it home to Middlebrook Ontario. Louis Riel was captured by the Canadian Government and was hanged for treason on November 16 1885 and Gabriel Dumont escaped to the United States of America.
The Metis were not happy about the area of land allowed by the Canadian Government so Louis Riel decided to take action and rebel.
Canadian Government
Battle of Batoche
The Canadian Government wanted to put a railway line through the Metis land. By doing that they would make the Metis have very small lots.
The Battle of Batoche was on May 9 to the 12 1885. The battle was started because the Metis
were losing their land so Louis Riel rebelled against the Canadian government.
