Answer:

He means that while there were cases of abuse, it was not always the case.

Explanation:

According to Edward Baines in his book "History of the Cotton Manufacture in Great Britain", he acknowledges that people claim there are cases of maltreatment of children who worked in labor mills, but he believes that those cases are not the general truths for workers in factory mills.

He makes this statement based on the findings of Factory Inspectors who visited "nearly every mill in the country" and found out that the claims of maltreatment "contain a very small portion of truth".

Who constituted "the people" according to political arrangements americas made during the war of independence?
77julia77 [94]
"The people" were originally White, Property-owning Males over 21. They were the only ones that could originally vote. The property owning portion will almost completely be gone by 1828 (this is what helped Andrew Jackson get elected). Non white men will begin being able to vote with the passing of the 15th Amendment after the Civil War. Women will earn suffrage (right to vote) in 1920 with the 19th Amendment. Lastly, we'll lower the voting age to 18 in 1971 with the 26th Amendment, due to the Vietnam War.

If I understand the question right, it would be showing bias in favor of the military, because of his location and the fact that he's talking about being supportive about the military.
