  History
The clan prospered until the time of the 21st chief, General Roderick Macneil who was forced to sell Barra in 1838.
The general had no children, and the chief ship passed to a cousin, whose line had emigrated to America at the beginning of the 19th century.
Clan Macneil in Canada aims at rediscovering these family lines and providing members greater knowledge and appreciation of their heritage.

 Mori Arinori Summary
Some historians and critics view Mori's reorganization of the school system, his expansion of the Ministry of Education's role in producing and inspecting textbooks, and his introduction of military drill (heishiki taiso) into the curriculum as catalysts for a host of educational problems in twentieth-century Japan: elitism, credentialism, bureaucratism, militarism, and cultural nationalism.
Mori's reputation as a cultural iconoclast may have contributed to his untimely death by a knife-wielding assassin on 11 February 1889, who alleged that Mori had desecrated the sacred Grand Shrine of Ise during an official visit there in December 1887.
Mori was the third Japanese minister in the United Kingdom.

In 1600, Mori Terumoto caused great loss for the pro-Toyotomi party in the scary battle of Seki plains via a shameful surrender to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and lost whatever else was left but status as a defeated foe in the eyes of the clan that reigned since then, the Tokugawa.
