Lachlan Macquarie

Japanese: マックオーリー（英語表記）Lachlan Macquarie

1762‐1824
He was the fifth Governor of the British colony of New South Wales (now Australia) (1810-21). He was responsible for cleaning up the aftermath of the Rum Rebellion of 1808, which was an attack on Governor Bligh, famous for the Mutiny on the Bounty. (At the time, all distilled alcohol was called rum, and rum even served as currency, but the colonial government tried to crack down on the smuggling of rum.) He consistently gave preferential treatment to former exiles (emancipists), appointing them to various roles in colonial administration, which led to the beginning of the conflict between emancipists and exclusionists.
