The sentence is drawing a parallel between the two parties' reasons for going to war. Each of them is associated with a verb: one with "survive," the other with "perish." They are the two antonyms.

Antonyms are words which have opposite meanings. <em>Survive </em>means to contine living, and <em>perish </em>means to stop living.

What Lincoln meant by using this antonym-based parallelism is that the Confederacy fought to end the exisiting nation (meaning, to secede from the North and create a new nation), while the Union fought to keep the nation alive by preventing it from splitting.

Which form does a verb take to ask a question? <br> subjunctive indicative imperative passive
mr_godi [17]
<span>The form that a verb takes to ask a question is indicative. You use just the regular forms of a verb to ask the question, as in this example: What do you need? Subjunctive mood is used when talking about possibilities, or wishes, as in "I wish you would stop doing that," where "you would stop" is subjunctive. Imperative is the form you use to give orders, such as in" Close the door!" Passive form, as opposed to active, is found in this example: A book is being read by me - as opposed to - I am reading a book - which is active.</span>
