Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that slavery in the United States lasted 400 years?

No. One scholarly teaching essay states that slavery lasted 250 years in the territory of the United States, directly contradicting the 400-year figure; a UN page's 'over 400 years' refers to the transatlantic slave trade, not slavery within the United States.
