This study seeks to clarify the impact of the stories of the
Lawrence and Lagoda on the decision to send the U.S. mission to
Japan. 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.
