Ask most Americans where the country’s origins lie and they’ll point to the Mayflower and its settlers—whom we often think of as the earliest arrivals to our shores. But something existed even before that: Jamestown. Drawing on original findings and an in-depth understanding of the political and philosophical realities of the time, The Secret Founding of America charts the connections between secret societies and libertarian ideals, explains the influence of the German Illuminati, and shows the hand of Freemasonry at work at every turning point in America’s history, from the Civil War to the Cold War to today’s global struggles for democracy. This authoritative, accessible, and absorbing history takes a fresh look at the past to reveal the truth about the founding of America.
