From "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July"

"My subject, then, fellow citizens, is “American Slavery.” I shall see this
day and its popular characteristics from the slave’s point of view. Standing
there, identified with the American bondman,3 making his wrongs mine, I
do not hesitate to declare, with all my soul, that the character and conduct
of this nation never looked blacker to me than on this Fourth of July. . . ."

This is a factual claim

This is an opinion

From "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July"
What literary device is used in this passage to make the speaker's point?

The slaveholders themselves acknowledge it in the enactment of laws for their government. They acknowledge it when they punish disobedience on the part of the slave. There are seventy-two crimes in the state of Virginia, which, if committed by a black man (no matter how ignorant he be), subject him to the punishment of death; while only two of
these same crimes will subject a white man to the like punishment. What
is this but the acknowledgement that the slave is a moral, intellectual, and
responsible being?
