The Declaration of Independence

In some ways, the Civil War completed the American Revolution. The ideals boldly proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, that "all men are created equal", were now being somewhat realized. The reality was that at the end of Reconstruction the United States was still, in fact, an "unfinished nation," and that it will be the Civil Rights era and its accomplishments that completed the revolution. Discuss in what ways the United States was an "unfinished nation," and how the accomplishments of the Civil Rights era completed the process. In your opinion, is the United States currently a "finished nation" or is there still "unfinished business" that needs to be addressed?
