With all your might.

The expression is to fight tooth and nail, not to hang on. It means to resist something, usually an idea, the way a trapped animal resists being picked up in your hands. We say, for example, So-called Conservatives fought the Civil Rights Movement tooth and nail.

What does gentlemen you must all hang together or else you shall hang separately mean?

This famous quote is a kind of pun, which depends upon two different interpretations of the word hang. To hang together is to act cooperatively, to be loyal to a group. Whereas, the ominous phrase hang separately means that the members of this group, if they fail to act cooperatively, will in due course be arrested, convicted, and executed by hanging.
