According to Coolidge, Niebuhr, Evans, Garvey, and the mothers, the major divisions in the American society that were causing divisions include fewer presentation of women in key positions (Michael 2004). Similarly, the same gender was not allowed to vote hence their significance in the America society was negligible (Zophy, 2009).
The other division was as a result of increased slave trade with a number of the Native Americans being against the role played by slaves especially the women movements who had little regard for slavery. On the other hand other group of Americans was pushing for slavery not to end as a way of ensuring that they reap more from the efforts of the slaves. This is largely blamed on the social divide of racialism such that the whites look down on the blacks as well as the colored in society (Carnes, Mark and Garraty, 2008).
There are various suggestions on ways of curbing the divisions that are portrayed in the book as most of the problems are caused by human beings hence human-based solutions can be applied in the solution. The issue of increasing women population in key political posts was made possible after giving women their rights to vote (Humphrey, 2007).
Similarly, their role in the American society was more significant as by allowing them to vote the problem of not representing the societal issues was solved. However, the issue of racial segregation has not been eradicated from the entire society as this has not been addressed adequately. Racial segregation can only be eliminated if all Americans regardless of their skin color were given equal opportunities in all dimensions of life. Such include public amenities and at the individual level (Lancaster, Catton, and Fleming, 2004).
