Answer: b. It establishes Douglass as a moral man.

Douglass's allusion to the biblical story of the sons of Ham shows that he is well-acquainted with the myth. During this time period, slaves were believed to be the descendants of Ham, and therefore, to be destined to remain slaves. By showing his knowledge of this story, Douglass shows that he knows the Bible and respects its stories, and this presents him as a moral man.
