Thomas Scott (1 ene 1842 año – 4 mar 1870 año)

Descripción:

He was an Irish Protestant who emigrated to Canada in 1863. His political involvement in the Red River Settlement led to his arrest at Fort Garry, where he was held as a hostage. On March 4, 1870, Scott was marched out of Fort Garry and was executed by the provisional government of the Red River Settlement led by Louis Riel.

His execution led to a military expedition, authorized by Sir John A. Macdonald, to confront Louis Riel and the Metis at the settlement. The event highlights a time of severe conflict between settlers and the Métis in Canadian history. His execution led to Riel's exile, and to Riel's own execution for treason in 1885.
