  Adams George Archibald - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Archibald was born in Truro to a prominent family in Nova Scotian politics (one of his relatives was Samuel G.W. Archibald, who had served as the province's Attorney General from 1830 to 1841).
Archibald himself was the leader of the government side in the election which followed; the francophone population was mostly united in support of him, while John Christian Schultz led a group of ultra-loyalist Anglophones who opposed the conciliation policy.
In 1888, Archibald McLelan was appointed Lt. Governor of Nova Scotia.

Archibald resisted repeated demands that he issue warrants for the arrest of Riel and other Métis leaders, but his attempts at reconciliation were badly compromised by the failure of the British government to issue an amnesty for those involved in the rebellion.

Archibald presented two papers on the deportation in 1886 in which he contended that the British action was entirely justified and that any blame for mistreatment of the Acadians should fall on the French government and the Roman Catholic clergy.

Archibald also sent a copy of his essays to historian Francis Parkman, who, in an anonymous review, cited Archibald’s work to support his own conclusions.
