send their sugar to Russia, to China, to Turkey, to Poland, to Egypt
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. Cobden explicitly states that 'these very men...have landing warehouses in Liverpool and London, and send their sugar to Russia, to China, to Turkey, to Poland, to Egypt,' confirming that slave-grown sugar is sent to Russia among other destinations.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint correctly attributes the statement to Cobden as the named source. The stance of 'asserts' is appropriate as Cobden presents this as fact within his speech. The sentiment is neutral, matching the matter-of-fact way the claim is presented. Time qualifiers are correctly null as the passage provides no specific temporal scope. Context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict this claim to a particular sense or role. The quote is verbatim from the passage and accurately supports the claim that slave-grown sugar is sent to Russia (among other countries).
send their sugar to Russia, to China, to Turkey, to Poland, to Egypt
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. Cobden explicitly states that those opposing slave-grown sugar 'send their sugar to Russia, to China, to Turkey, to Poland, to Egypt; in short, to any country under the sun,' which directly confirms that slave-grown sugar is sent to China.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to Cobden (identified as 'Mr. Cobden' giving the speech). The stance is accurately characterized as 'asserts' - Cobden makes a direct statement about where sugar is sent. The sentiment is appropriately neutral, as this is a factual claim without emotional language. The time qualifiers are correctly null since the passage provides no temporal scope. The context is appropriately empty as there are no sense or role restrictions. The quote is verbatim from the passage and directly supports the claim that slave-grown sugar is sent to China among other destinations.
we must not buy slave-grown sugar
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. Cobden explicitly states 'What, then, is the pretence set up? Why, that we must not buy slave-grown sugar,' indicating that some people object to buying slave-grown sugar. This is the opening premise of his speech.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.85 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. Viewpoint (Cobden), stance (asserts), time (null), and quote are all correct. Sentiment is reasonably characterized as neutral given Cobden's reportorial framing of the objection. Minor deduction: 'some people' as subject is slightly imprecise - the passage attributes the pretense/objection to unnamed critics ('we' in the quoted remark and 'these very men' later), but the claim's generalization is acceptable and not unfaithful to the passage's attribution. Context is appropriately empty as no restrictive sense is specified in the passage.
these very men, and their connexions, who are loudest in their appeals against slave-grown sugar, have landing warehouses in Liverpool and London, and send their sugar to Russia, to China, to Turkey, to Poland, to Egypt; in short, to any country under the sun
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. Cobden explicitly asserts that the very people who appeal loudest against slave-grown sugar have warehouses in Liverpool and London and send sugar to various countries, thereby demonstrating their commercial involvement with slave-grown sugar despite their public opposition to it.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint correctly attributes the claim to Cobden, who made this speech in Covent-garden Theatre as reported in the League. The stance of 'asserts' is appropriate as Cobden directly states this claim rather than disputing or questioning it. The sentiment 'negative' matches the critical, accusatory tone Cobden uses toward these men. The time qualifiers are correctly set to null as the passage provides no specific temporal scope. The context is appropriately empty as no particular sense or role restriction applies. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim that those loudest against slave-grown sugar are themselves profiting from its trade by warehousing and distributing it globally.
