Not all French Canadians were opposed to the Canadian Army fighting against the Métis. In this print, which is in a horizontal format with an inset, a French-Canadian battalion is leaving to put down a Métis resistance. It is important to not that French-Canadian nationalist sympathy became enflamed only during and after Louis Riel's trial and execution. |
