The correct answer is "the tie that bound her to Spain has been severed". The "tie" refers to the colonial rule and "her" refers to America. To put in other words, Bolívar says in that sentence that the colonial rule of Spain over America is over.
With "kept the parts of that immense monarchy together", Bolívar is refering that only the concept of colonialism held the Spanish Empire together, but no one on the American continent felt bounded with the Spanish mainland.
The sentence "inspired in us is greater than the ocean between us" refers to the fact that America and Spain are so far from each other (there is literally an ocean between them), so there is little connection between the two. In this sentence he also says that the hate of the Spanish towards the Americans is bigger than the ocean between Spain and America.

Answer:
never mind I misinterpreted the question
There are plenty of evidences offered by proponents of both the sides of the question whether racism preceded slavery or vice versa.
Racism has its origins in the very beginning of the human society as there has always been prejudice, fear and hatred towards people who are different in their colour or place of origin.
Ruth Benedict was one of the first scholars to define racism in her book Race and Racism thus: “the dogma that one ethnic group is condemned by nature to congenital inferiority and another group is destined to congenital superiority”. Racism is only one of the contributing factors for justifying slavery. Racial prejudice of the dark skinned Africans by the white skinned Europeans was one of the major causes of the transatlantic slave trade. This trade was further reinforced by the racist ideology that considered the superiority of whites over the blacks. According to the UNESCO, the slaves were considered as property that was moveable and had no rights of possession or contract. The world body reiterates the view that racism was used for legitimising the slave trade and all its horrifying practices.
