The use of political force has an impact on the nation, but it doesn't complete the job. They three amendments were created to help the slaves. The three amendments were making the slaves free, making them a citizen, and allowing them to vote. People were forced to accept the slaves when it came to laws. They had to let them be free and allow them to vote, but in their mind they could think what they want. Politically speaking the nation could be united, but mentally the were all still separated. They created intentional problems when they were creating these amendments. For example, the voting right, yes they were allowed to vote, but when going to vote they would make it hard for them to use this right. They made it so it would be hard to read, or so they couldn't understand it. Which didn't allow them to use their earned rights. They were still not united.
You can try to force people to be united. It takes a lot to make a nation actually become united. It's not just something that laws and amendments can do by itself. They may appear to be united as one; however, they were really all separated still. People thought since they created these amendments that everyone would be equal and accept each other. People still judged and didn't accept others. Laws created can't determine if the nation is united. They may help, but it is up to the people to help create a united nation.
