These attacks also unified the country because the people of America were attacked for their rights, freedoms, and beliefs. Families had also become stronger through the sense of vulnerability that immediately swept over the nation. Another positive aspect that resulted was the War Against Terrorism, which is a war fought to end the threat of terrorism throughout the world.
