The adjectives "blighting and dehumanizing" emphasize the damage that slavery does to the character of a slave owner, as shown in the second answer option.

We can get this answer because:

  • Douglass claims that slavery is so violent that it harms even whites.
  • He does this by claiming that one of his mistresses, who was a kind woman, was completely ruined and dehumanized after she lived with slavery.
  • This is because this mistress was keeping slaves for the first time and was very kind to everyone.
  • However, over time, her behavior was destroyed and slavery made her a bitter and evil woman.

With this Douglass shows that slavery is disturbing and negative for everyone.
