And what do they inspire people to do?

"But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract."
 
it talks about the colored people
that the white people must not own the land only for themselves but also for the blacks. that both should be equal in all ways.
 
The men who fought here have made this a place of honor beyond our ability to do more.
 
The brave men, living and dead, who fought on this site, have done more to bless it and make it sacred, than any of us today, can do.
