Please I need this for tomorrow tell me if there is anything to modify or correct especially the ending I am not so sure about it

"A house divided into itself cannot stand" We surely know that Abraham Lincoln was addressing the U.S community in his speech (you need to check it out if you haven't yet). Still, we need to understand the dimensions the metaphor covers in this idiom.
The house here embodies the place frame of either a house ofc, a city or country (the whole world even), what's important is the people in this frame and what I think is more critical Is the relationship between them.
A family is a social unit, and the building block of a society is the definition of love, support, and unity. It's the foundation, and you can't build anything with a fragile foundation. Even if you do, it's going to collapse. This is the relationship between a family and the society it belongs to. The cause-effect bond is unbreakable (and let me elaborate on that, ok). So Parents are their children's role models. A strongly bonded family with healthy relationships and great role models that promote positive growth and development will produce mentally healthy citizens with high values who make positive contributions and aim for the best for the community.
However, the opposite is true, and when a family is characterized by stress and conflict, the health of the family members tends to be negatively affected. As a result, the family will drift apart, and the steadiness that comes from sticking together will be broken. In this case, the role of the family as a source of love, support, and education will vanish, and the kids will get exposed to risky behavior.The parents' role as guides and teachers is missing, which is going to reduce the rate of self-sufficiency and higher the rate of substance use and abuse. Therefore addiction problems and a potential criminal.
And why are we touching upon this u might ask? It is bcz the sooner we understand this relationship, the better since we as future role models should instill the idea of the significance of unity in the minds of children for the betterment of their future.​

Answer:

On June 16, 1858, the Republican State Convention met in Springfield, Illinois, and chose Abraham Lincoln to run against Democrat Stephen Douglas for the U.S. Senate. Lincoln's speech that evening was specifically about the problems of slavery in the United States, and especially the effect of the recent Dred Scott decision of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Lincoln paraphrased the following passage from the Bible, Matthew 12:25, when he spoke of a house divided:
