In 1817, another treaty was got
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The claim is supported by the passage, which states 'In 1817, another treaty was got, on our paying £400,000 for it.' The passage attributes the action to Britain ('we got her to sign'), though the exact treaty name is not specified in that sentence. The minor rewording from 'another treaty was got' to 'got spain to sign treaty' and the generic label 'slave trade treaty' represent acceptable paraphrasing of the directly stated information.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is 'author' which is appropriate since the passage is written in a narrative voice (not attributed to a named source). The stance 'asserts' and sentiment 'neutral' match the passage's straightforward reporting tone. The time qualifiers correctly reference 1817 when the treaty occurred. The context is appropriately empty as no specific sense or role restriction applies. The quote 'In 1817, another treaty was got' appears verbatim and supports the claim. Minor note: the claim could be slightly more specific about which treaty (the passage mentions it was one of several), but this is not an unfaithful qualifier issue.
