The Secret Founding of America: The Real Story of Freemasons, Puritans, and the Battle for the New World

by Nicholas Hagger

The widely accepted story of the founding of America is that The Mayflower delivered the first settlers from Plymouth to the New World in 1620. Yet in reality, the Jamestown settlers had already become the first English-speaking outpost thirteen years earlier in 1607."The Secret Founding of America"introduces these 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 it argues that the new nation, conceived in liberty, was the Freemasons' first step towards a new world order. Drawing on original findings and an in-depth understanding of the political and philosophical realities of the time, historianNicholas Haggercharts the connections between Gosnold and Smith, Templars and Jacobites, and secret societies and libertarian ideals. He also explains how the influence of German Illuminati worked on the constructors of the new republic, and shows the hand of Freemasonry at work at every turning point in America's history, from Civil War to today's global struggles for democracy."

*I won this in a GoodReads Giveaway*

I picked up this book and I didn't know what to expect - In the first few chapters the author explains the founding of America and the first colonies were founded out there, So I was really pleased to be learning something new! He expresses several thought-provoking ideas on Deism and I really liked that he used quotes from Jefferson and Franklin to illustrate his point of view. By the time I got to the end of the book, I was getting a little confused with the Masonic Conspiracy Theory, But overall, It was a very interesting read!

I don’t know what I just read. This progressed from a typical history book in the beginning to a rant that the world is controlled by Freemasons. Maybe this book makes more sense to people versed in Freemason theories; I found it very confusing. The author threw in terms without defining them and went through certain topics with little detail. This book was really only 200 pages and read more like a long essay.

Here and there, the author accidentally had some correct comments about Freemasons. Still, it was a fun story.

Reading this book is probably the best investment I have made in months. Worth reading Nicholas Hagger for everyone.
