  • Central American coffee has average value of ten cents a pound 1921
    assertsneutralsource: coffee-pg28500
    ten cents for Central American
    judge verdicts (2)
    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly lists the average value of Central American coffee in 1921 as 'ten cents' a pound, exactly matching the claim's object and timeframe.
    • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage states these facts without attributing them to a named source). The stance of 'asserts' matches the declarative presentation. The sentiment is neutral, matching the factual tone. The time qualifier correctly identifies 1921 as the year these figures relate to. The context is appropriately empty since the passage discusses coffee without restricting it to a specific sense or role. The quote 'ten cents for Central American' appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim about the average value of Central American coffee in 1921.
  • coffee was taxed ten cents a pound during the War of 1812 ⟨during the War of 1812⟩
    assertsneutralsource: coffee-pg28500
    imports of coffee were taxed ten cents a pound
    judge verdicts (2)
    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'When the war of 1812 made necessary more revenue, imports of coffee were taxed ten cents a pound.' The subject, predicate, object, and temporal context are all explicitly supported by the text.
    • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage presents this as historical fact without attribution to a named source). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's straightforward reporting. The temporal scope correctly identifies the War of 1812 period with valid_from 1812 and valid_to null (no end date specified). The context accurately reflects the wartime revenue measure. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.
  • import duty on coffee is increased to ten cents a pound 1812 ⟨United States⟩
    assertsneutralsource: coffee-pg28500
    The import duty, on coffee in the United States is increased to ten cents a pound as a war-revenue measure.
    judge verdicts (2)
    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: '1812--The import duty, on coffee in the United States is increased to ten cents a pound as a war-revenue measure.' All elements (subject, predicate, object, date, and context) match exactly.
    • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (passive voice in source text); stance is 'asserts' which matches the factual presentation; sentiment is neutral as appropriate for a historical record; time is correctly specified as 1812; context accurately reflects 'United States'; the quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.

George M. Rolph (author)

  • Hawaiian sugar price in kegs advance to ten cents a pound during Civil War outbreak ⟨caused by Civil War supply disruption⟩
    assertspositivesource: sugar-pg73616
    caused the price of Hawaiian sugar in kegs to advance to ten cents a pound
    judge verdicts (2)
    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'The outbreak of the Civil war in the United States cut off the supply of sugar drawn from the Southern states and caused the price of Hawaiian sugar in kegs to advance to ten cents a pound.' All elements—the subject (Hawaiian sugar), predicate (price in kegs advance to), object (ten cents a pound), and the causal context (Civil War)—are explicitly supported by the text.
    • qualifier_fidelity 0.80 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. Viewpoint, stance, sentiment, and context are all correct. However, the time qualifier has a minor issue: the passage states this occurred 'when' the Civil War 'broke out' but then provides a specific export tonnage for 1863, suggesting the price advance occurred around that time. The claim's time qualifier 'during Civil War outbreak' is acceptable but somewhat vague compared to the passage's implied temporal reference. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim well. All other qualifiers are faithful to the passage.
