Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Community-edited reference page, tier 3. Used alongside the existing Baker and Rausch scholarly monograph specifically for the exact 1791 start, the 1886 tolerance date and the casualty range, none of which the monograph's own on-file description states in that detail.
Notes
Used with the existing Baker and Rausch monograph for the persecution of Catholicism in Choson Korea from 1791 to 1886.
