What is William Lloyd Garrison's main purpose in this excerpt from his speech "No Compromise with the Evil of Slavery"? The reason why the South rules, and the North falls prostrate in servile terror, is simply this: 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, integrity of soul, the Decalogue and the Golden Rule the infinite God himself. All these she is ready to discard for the Union. Her devotion to it is the latest and the most terrible form of idolatry. A. to criticize the compromises the North made in order to preserve the Union B. to critique the South's insistence on continuing the practice of slavery C. to criticize the South's devotion to honor and integrity of soul D. to identify the South's military strategy in the war with the North
