The Boston Tea Party and Freemasonry

There's a theory that some masons, had actually organized the Boston Tea Party. And the French Revolution? At St. Andrews Lodge in Boston. After the American Revolution, basically the American mason said, hey, we were under the purview of the provincial lodge. We got to go. So they formed their own official lodges in the United States. In America, you've got the York Rite and the Scottish Rite.
