Slave rebellion

against the Canadian government to let them have more land. John MacDonald agrees with a permit for more land but only for half-breeds living in the north-west and for only a small part of land. This makes the half-breeds angry. So Riel starts a rebellion and a new government called, “the Exovedate”, with the half-breeds. This is a great example of how Riel was dedicated to his people and lead them. Louis Riel started a whole nation and had the power to start a province. Page 74-77, Riel sends…

The birth of ‘New Imperialism’ maintained heavy racial underpinnings implying that a “civilization” should be comprised of Crown-loyal, ‘civilized’ subjects, otherwise known as a predominantly white…

Both science and technology had a very profound role on the East India Company’s (EIC) rule over India, as well as added to the economy. Some background – with the EIC’s help, the British first took over areas in India starting with Bengal, located in northeast India today, and then moving down to the southern parts of India as well. They acquired some more territories in northern India after. Expansion to India eventually slowed down; however, once they stopped acquiring as much territory, they…

Louis Riel was a lunatic. Soon after the Red River Rebellion, Riel was exiled. These many years marked the first suspicions of his insanity. During this time, he was more concerned with religious rather than political matters. Staying with the Roman Catholic priests in Quebec, he was influenced to believe that he was divinely chosen to become the leader of the Métis. Today, with more research on Riel’s odd beliefs, it came to a speculation that the man may have been suffering a psychological…

During his lifetime, Riel achieved many great successes and inspired many people.…

The Sepoy Mutiny is about Indians that back in the 1850’s when they worked for Great Britain that heard rumors that the soldiers used cow and pig grease in their weapons which is against their religion and they rebelled. I don’t think that the soldiers use animal grease as cartridges in their rifles. The Sepoy Mutiny was caused by a rumor and a rumor only. That rumor seems to be that cow and pig grease were used as cartridges in british rifles and that is against the Indians religions. Evidence…

Have you heard of the British Raj? Well, I’ll tell you about it. The East India Trading Company, lead by the british, moved to take India around the collapse of the Mughal Empire. They then began to rule over them, tying them to Britain until it was dissolved and the british took direct control of the nation and India became known as the “jewel of the crown” due to the abundance of resources it provided Britain. Although many believe the British control over India was terrible, it had some…
