The Black Cloud Hanging Over the United States

[ NOW UNLOCKED! ] In Part 2 of the Media Roots Radio Freemasonic history of the United States podcast series, Robbie Martin starts with the demise of George Washington & Benjamin Franklin, followed by the founding of the first black masonic lodge, Africa Lodge #1 by Prince Hall. Getting into the 1800s Robbie then goes into the origin story of Joseph Smith, William Morgan and Albert Pike. The story of the Anti-Masonic movement and how it gave rise to the first 3rd political party in the United States is also explored in detail. Mormonism's links to Freemasonry are touched on but will be fleshed out in Part 3.
