The immediate exploitation of new land progressed with simultaneous appearance of Black Race and its fertilizing of Brazilian soil with tears, blood, and martyrdom of slavery. Around 1530, Africans, who had landed in chains, had already started playing their new role of labor force; by 1535, slave trade to Brazil was already a regular and organized business, which would very rapidly increase to enormous proportions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-19 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
