Townsend's Letter on Canada Riel and Empire Conflicts
George Alfred Townsend surveys North American and global tensions from New York, tracing Canada’s Winnipeg conflict over Métis rights, Lord Selkirk’s colonization, and Canadian Pacific railways, while contrasting French and British ambitions with Chinese and Russian dynamics and urging imperial restraint. He warns of English arrogance, warns of costly dominion schemes, and frames Manitoba as a proxy struggle shaping empire and commerce.
