While the language of the treaty speaks of \u201cpeace and amity\u201d between the two countries, it is clear that the treaty was written to favor American interests. Each article establishes privileges for American traders, giving them unprecedented rights and effectively ending Japan\u2019s isolationist policies. While initially regarded as an unfair treaty, it eventually led to economic exchange that was lucrative for both nations. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>This appendix to Perry\u2019s book reproduces a portion of the trade treaty signed in 1854 by the United States and Japan in English and Japanese. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-capsp20\/2020\/04\/treaty-articles\/\" title=\"Treaty Articles\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2926,"featured_media":291,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-introduction"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-capsp20\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-capsp20\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-capsp20\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-capsp20\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2926"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-capsp20\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-capsp20\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":232,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-capsp20\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130\/revisions\/232"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-capsp20\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-capsp20\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-capsp20\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-capsp20\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
