Uncle Tom's Cabin

Hi,

Below is from Uncle Tom's Cabin.
What does the underlined "which" refer to?
Does it refer to "nothing but a life of toil and drudgery"?

*** *** ***

And so fell George's last hope;—nothing before him but a life of toil and drudgery, rendered more bitter by every little smarting vexation and indignity which tyrannical ingenuity could devise.
