In the excerpt, no compromise was the evil of slavery by William Lloyd Garrison read the expert in paragraph to you. What does Garrison mean when he says I will give that instrument to the consuming fire

When Garrison says "I will give that instrument to the consuming fire," he is using metaphorical language to express his determination and commitment to abolish slavery. The "instrument" refers to the United States Constitution, which Garrison believed was a pro-slavery document as it compromised on the issue of slavery. By saying he will "give" it to the "consuming fire," he means that he rejects and denounces the Constitution's pro-slavery clauses, and he will not compromise or accept any form of slavery. Garrison is expressing his desire to completely eliminate the institution of slavery, even if it means rejecting the Constitution.
