After the province of Manitoba was created in 1870, Louis Riel fled to the United States due to fears of persecution and the hostility he faced from the Canadian government and English-speaking settlers. He initially settled in Montana, where he lived for several years. Riel later returned to Canada briefly, but he ultimately went into exile again, spending time in various locations in the U.S. before eventually returning to Canada in 1884 to lead the North-West Rebellion.
