Has unity become a foul word?

@Soossie's post got me to thinking about our country and wondering if, at this juncture, we the people could find the pathway to a unified country.

Granted, we’ve never, except for rare moments, truly been unified, or even a gracious (to one another) nation; but is it impossible for the majority of us to sit and “break bread” and become unified in a way forward?

What are your thoughts both for and against the idea?

I'm open to thoughts and ideas from others than those who live in the U.S.
