None of the sources mention a 'Board of Agreement of 1649 and 1650'; they describe the related 1649 Chmielnicki peace terms, which barred Jews and landlords from Cossack provinces, a different agreement.

What we found

Context. Source 5 (History of the Jews, 1649) reports that the August 1649 peace with Chmielnicki barred Jews and landed proprietors from owning, renting, or living in the Cossack provinces, which is close in substance to the claim but is not the Board of Agreement.[1]

Context. Source 8 and Source 7 report Chmielnicki's and John Casimir's 1649 demands that no Jew be allowed on Cossack lands, again without naming the Board of Agreement.[2][3]

Context. Source 9 (Britannica) says the Compact of Zborów satisfied neither the Polish gentry nor Khmelnytsky's followers, many of whom remained subject to Polish landlords, but it does not address the Board of Agreement or any exclusion of returning Jews.[4]
