They gave everything they had: their lives.
Lincoln said, in the Gettysburg Address, it was the duty of the living to accomplish the following: "It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.

The phrase originated in an old story about King Solomon but Abraham Lincoln used it in one of his speeches.
Verb Phrase
"Shall not perish from the Earth" is a complex way of saying "Will not disappear from the planet". In the Gettysburg Address, where this phrase is from, Lincoln argues that the US Civil War is a test about whether a democratic nation has any long-term staying power on the Earth.
That exact phrase comes from Abraham Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address", but the idea that governments can only be legitimate when the people themselves control them is much older. ______________________________________________________________________ Well, somebody's got a way with words!
