19세기 말, 초기 미국 이민자들의 이민 결정에 미친 기독교 인식

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the perception of Christianity, which had a great influence on the early Korean people, and to analyze whether political and economic difficulties at the time led to the choice of a new place called the United States rather than Gando or Primorsky Krai. To achieve this goal, this study examined favorable Christian perception (such as Hwang Joon-heon’s Joseon Strategy), negative Christian perception (Shin Jae-hyo <Strange Western Duneom>, etc.) and complex perception (HanseongSunbo) to reveal how Joseon society thought and perceived Christianity at the time. As a result of the analysis, there were also complex tendencies such as HanseongSunbo, but most of the favorable perceptions of the United States were favorable perceptions of Christianity, and negative perceptions of the United States were negative perceptions of Christianity. As a result, it was negative perception of Western culture and religion and government-led immigration, but early Korean migration was based on voluntary consent based on knowledge or ideas about Hawaii and the perception of favorable Christianity at the time, along with the efforts of Christian missionaries.
