Why did Lincoln say the people meeting for the dedication of that cemetery could not dedicate consecrate or hallow this ground?
To consecrate means to make sacred. In the next few lines he says that the world will not care what we say here, but they can't forget what the men did here. Their bravery and their sacrifice makes it sacred far more than a speech ever can. Lincoln is saying this because that's probably what he felt. How can his two minute long speech make a ground sacred? Instead it is the men who gave their lives who made it a scared place.
