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.

HELPPPPPPP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Read the following excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:              The answer is below.

Comparing:

Both of the themes from these excerpts are about how you can be able to learn despite differences in yourself from others.

Contrasting:

The theme of <em>The Story of My Life</em> by Helen Keller is that you are able to do anything you put your mind to, even if you are physically impaired in some way.

The main theme in the excerpt of <em>The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass</em>, is that you can learn how to do things even if you are of a different ethnic background.

In other words, the main character in the story are different in different ways (one is blind, the other was of a different ethnicity)

How does odyssey escape from calypso
lakkis [162]

Odysseus and the men accompanying him get the Calypso drunk with the wine they had brought along with them from the ship. They then proceed to sharpen a large stake and blind him.

They escape by tying themselves and clinging to the bellies of the sheep as they go out to graze so that they are not seen by the monster, even though he is blinded.
