On January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded, killing its crew. In this excerpt, Reagan compares the crew to Sir Francis Drake. Drake was an English sea captain, explorer, slave trader and naval officer of the Elizabethan era.

Reagan argues that the crew is similar to Sir Francis Drake because they lived as astronauts and died as astronauts. Similarly, Drake lived as an explorer and died as an explorer aboard his ship.

They both died doing something they believed in and loved. They were both dedicated to their causes and they both knew the risks involved in their professions.  They were both explorers and taking leaps into the unknown.

Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war r
melisa1 [442]

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.
