Answer 7

Any man/woman, that lays down his/her life for their fellow man, support something.

        John Doan put it very admirly " No man is an Island, apart unto himself, for every man is part of the main, therefore, send not to know for whom the bells toll, for they toll for thee"

Answer 8

Emmeline Davidson was a young suffragist (supporter of voting rights for women) in England in 1913.  She  threw herself in front of racehorses at Ascot, with the King and Queen there, and was killed. She died for women's rights.  

There were many spies in every war who were caught and executed for doing something they believed in--Nathan Hale was just one such person.

John Brown, although he was somewhat crazy, was executed for trying to arm slaves and bring about rebellion and an end to slavery.

St. Thomas More was executed on orders of Henry VIII for refusing to compromise his conscience and agree that Henry's marriage to his first wife was not valid.

Answer 9

Abraham Lincoln did not die in support of a cause; he was assasinated after the Civil War ended.  That's very different from being killed as a martyr to your cause.  

You might look up Anwar Sadat, Benazir Bhutto, Nathan Hale, Gandhi, and Indira Gandhi.  Also consider that every person who ever enlisted in a war and died there, died supporting something they believed in.
