RE: Questions About John Brown
Wiki has this info on "root hog or die":

"Root, hog, or die" is a common American catch-phrase dating from well before 1834. Coming from the early colonial practice of turning pigs loose in the woods to fend for themselves, the term is an idiomatic expression for self-reliance".

(Appealing to self-reliance is IMO something different than to abandon.)
