It's been a while, but I translate that as "From many, one".
I think it's an allusion to the thirteen British colonies becoming one United States.

“A cord of many strands is not easily broken” is literally Fascism.

The idea people can get more done by working together is literally older than writing.

The "cord" in fascism is usually an ethnic group. I believe that is the problem with fascism, not the fact that there is a cord.
It's why it's on our currency - "e pluribus unum".
It's also why Russia and China are constantly working to erode the unity of the American people, whether it's through false narratives that "we're more divided than ever", driving a wedge into political parties, fomenting rage-mode across social media, utilizing Twitter for propaganda or TikTok to keep American minds drained of their creative motivation while they ban the apps in their own countries... the list really goes on.
A cord of many stands is not easily broken, but others will do their damnedest to try.
