The correct answer to this open question is the following.
William Lloyd Garrison's main purpose in this excerpt from his speech "No Compromise with the Evil of Slavery" was to demonstrate that it was the south that wanted to maintain the evils of slavery while the north tried to end this practice, abolishing slavery. That is why he wrote: "...with the South, the preservation of slavery is paramount to all other considerations above party success, denominational unity, pecuniary interest, legal integrity, and constitutional obligation. With the North, the preservation of the Union is placed above all other things above honor, justice, freedom, the integrity of soul, the Decalogue and the Golden Rule the infinite God himself..."
William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879) was an American journalist and activist that supported the end of slavery in the US. He created "The Liberator," in 1830, a newspaper that referred to the topic of abolitionism, and two years later he founded the New England Anti-slavery Society.
