Explanation:

1. If one - in - five children worked in a factory in the late 1800s, it implies that some children were not in school as they were working. There is no information about women's working hours, immigrants' role in the workforce, or children's and men's earnings.
2. The Knights of Labor was formed with the goal of broad social reform for workers, aiming to improve working conditions, wages, and other aspects of workers' lives.
3. After the strikes in the late 1800s, employers often went to court to stop union actions as they tried to maintain control and resist union demands. Federal courts did not generally rule in favor of union demands, and unions were not ruled unconstitutional. Labor organizations did not always work together effectively at this time.
4. The "new" immigrants of the late 1800s often came from southern and eastern Europe, while earlier immigrants came from northern and western Europe. They did not more often settle on farms, did not generally arrive speaking English, and did not come to cause violent uprisings.
5. Most immigrants who entered the United States through Angel Island in San Francisco Bay were from China. Angel Island was an immigration processing center mainly for Asian immigrants, especially Chinese immigrants due to its location on the West - Coast.
