'The Wall Street Crash did not cause the Great Depression; the war did. Roosevelt's New Deal did not remedy the Great Depression; the war did.' --Robert Sobel, unknown source (either 'Panic on Wall Street' or 'The Great Bull Market').

Which rhetorical devices are at work in this sentence? I thought epistrophe but the word as defined on Onelook didn't capture the similarity of structure in the two non-identical clauses. Any ideas?
