Detecting Bias

Background information: This passage comes from a white coffee planter named P. J. Laborie. He wrote this book to share his expertise with other Britons about the cultivation of coffee in Jamaica.

In order to make the best of the powers of the enslaved African, and to keep him helpless, punishment is unfortunately sometimes necessary. Such also is the case with soldiers, with sailors, and with all servile classes of men.

The Coffee Planter of Saint Domingo, 1798Why would a historian find this to be a biased source of information? 

The passage includes untrue generalizations about groups of people.

It was due to cold weather(b).  When the Germans invaded Russia and though they brought a huge army, the whole population Russia resisted the Germans.  At first the Russians were being defeated but
Russians were able to move their plants to Siberia keeping them out the Germans reach.  When the Russian winter came, the Germans were now bogged down and the Russian launched a huge counteroffensive that that destroyed the German army retreated as the Russians recovered territories held by the Germans.  The Russian defeat would later lead to the Russian invasion of Germany at the Eastern Front.
