After examining the actual narratives of the sailors and comparing them with Japanese reports in order to ascertain a factual baseline, the study examines the reaction to the Lawrence and Lagoda by prominent businessmen, naval officers, and politicians. Then, the reaction to the Lawrence and Lagoda is placed in the contextual framework of prevailing mid-nineteenth century American social, cultural, and legal attitudes in order to show that humanitarian concerns were, indeed, a prime consideration for sending the Perry mission to Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Makoto Arnold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.22d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781304734365\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44187042349171,"sku":"9.7813E+12","price":12.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_93461ea6-09e4-4c6b-9d64-b59d505d7655.jpg?v=1767277286","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/diplomacy-far-removed-a-reinterpretation-of-the-us-decision-to-open-diplomatic-relations-with-japan-9781304734365","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
