The best answer to this question is the second one on the list you provide. Engels would probably conclude that the class divide continues to exist in America and that would be the reason he would think that the United States is not a unified country.In 1844, Friedrich Engels published with Karl Marx The Holy Family, followed in 1845 by The Condition of the Working Class. The earlier work is a prelude to their fuller indictment of class divisions.There is considerable discussion available of the widening class gap in the U.S. today. A recent study with substantial data is available from the Pew Research Center. You might find it helpful. It argued that the wealth gap between upper class and middle class American families has grown to record levels, is more pronounced along racial and ethnic lines, and has increased even more since the Great Recession of 2007-2009.
