Answer:

The rhetorical device used by Douglass in this quote is IRONY.

Explanation:

IRONY is a figure of speech in which words are used in such a way that their intended meaning is different from the actual meaning.

In this case, if being a slave was bad, it was even worse to be a slave of a poor man (Colonel Lloyd).
