 Clan MACDONALD
Archibald, or Gillespock, Dubh, natural brother of John, having slain Donald Gallach and another of John's brothers, endeavoured to seize the lands of Sleat, but was expelled from the North Isles by Ranald Bane Allanson of Moydart, eldest son of the chief of Clanranald.
The Macdonalds being the victors, the result was that John Moydartach was maintained in possession of the chiefship and estates, and transmitted the same to his descendants.
Macdonald of Boisdale, the brother of the chief, then from age and infirmities unfit to be of any service, had an interview with Prince Charles, on his arrival off the island of Eriska, and positively refused to aid his enterprise.

In fact Hector Macdonald was suffering from Dysentery, was in general poor health, and greatly depressed, his suicide might not of been a act of guilt, just poor judgment of a poorly beaten down man. A great Highland hero had been destroyed, and his accomplishments to the British Empire forgotten.

In light of the evolution of Canada, the term confederation is today perceived as mostly a ruse by Prime Minister ofUnited Canada John A. Macdonald and others to encourage French Canada and the maritime colonies to come to the talks.
The politicalleaders of the maritime colonies worried about being dominated by the population centres of Central Canada and like French Canada did not want a strong central government.
Macdonald had no intention,however, of actually making Canada a confederation and was willing to have many of the colonies remain outside a political unionrather than weaken his proposed central government.
