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.

nika2105 [10]
Everyday I wake up earlier, to study or to complete the homework I haven't done last night. I go to school at about 11:40 am. I arrive home at 18:00 pm, and I am really tired. After I eat, I play 30 mins on my console or I am reading a book. I do my homework at about 19:00 pm and after I finish, I go to sleep at about 21:00 pm. In the weekend, I wake up at about 10 am, I eat, and I watch a serial for 1-2 hour(s). I hangout with my friends in the afternoon and when I arrive home, I do my homework for the next week. Sunday is that day where you just want to sleep. This is my typical week in my everyday life.
