The Secret Founding of America introduces two groups of founders - the Planting Fathers, who established the earliest settlements along essentially Christian lines, and the Founding Fathers, who unified the colonies with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution — and argues that the new nation, conccived in liberty, was the Freemasons' first step toward a New World Order. Drau ing on original findings and an in-depth understanding of the political and philosophical realities of the time, historian Nicholas Hagger charts the connections between Gosnold and Smith, Templars and Jacobites, and secret societies and libertarian ideals; explains how the influence of the German Illuminati worked on the Cramers of the new republic, including Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefierson and Thomas Paine; and shows the hand oi Freemasonry at work at every turning point in America s history, from the Civil War through the Cold War to today's global struggles I'or democracy.
Careluily researched and compellingly reasoned. The Socrcl Founding ofAmcricn firings new insight to lu ar on four centuries of history and casts the contours of the Americati dream in a ra<lical new liLihl.
A hidden history with far-reaching consequences - from the dream of a New Jerusalem to the shores of The New World
Every schoolchild knows the story of how America began: the Puritans set sail on the Majfiower in 1620, landed at Plymouth Rock and the rest is history.
Or is it?
Now, for the first time, this authoritative and accessible book tells the real story. It is a story of struggle, as Anglicans, Catholics, Separatists, Dissenters and Puritans all vied for control of America - and lo.st. It is a story of rebellion, revolution, and secret currents of power concealed behind a veneer of Christianity, shaping the fate of a nation.
THE SECRET FOUNDING OF AMERICA:
• charts an earlier landfall the 1607 founding of the Jamestown colony — that brought to the New World two radically opposed worldviews, the rural ethic of Elizabethan England and the rationalist ideals of Freemasonry
• reveals the real influences that forged the republic - from Scottish Templars to Enlightenment Deists to German llluminati — and captured the minds of the Founding Fathers, including Franklin, Jefferson and Washington
• raises provocative questions — Were the Templars looking for a new Atlantis? Was the Constitution a Frccmasonic coup? Did the Civil War mean decisive victory for the Freemasons? Are today's leaders under their influence too?
• explores the implications of this hidden history for 400 years of America's past, for the politics of the present and for the world of our future
• draws together all the key documents of America's origins — as no other book has done in a single appendix for accessible, authoritative reference Vissza
