Many European nations were interested in the land that protruded out into the ocean from Manchuria, referred to as the Hermit Kingdom. Little was known about the people that lived there but that they were barbaric aggressive people. When the ship, General Sherman, with a missionary on board, entered into the mysterious kingdom, the Koreans attacked the ship killing missionary and all the crew members. The king that was ruling Korea at the time feared of foreigners and other gods coming into his nation. Later, the European countries and missionaries were able to step onto the mysterious land and minister to the people.
The Sawi reminded me of Korea when we were also considered as barbarians.
