To release Southern Italy form foreign ruler, without being reliant on foreign influence
he was unexpectedly successful in taking control of Sicily and Naples
By agreeing to hand over his territories Garibaldi laid the way clear for Cavour and Piedmont to take over Italy - Kingdom of Italy
Garibaldi was a true disciple to the cause of unifying the whole of Italy - Cavour only interested in increasing Piedmonts power by unifying N.Italy - Covour was more pragamtic and stopped Garibaldis plans of invading Rome that may have led to an armed intervention with France
Unification could only come about by revolutionary means and armed force, without this belief the process may have been much more laborious
