What is a Secret Society? Are the merely the product of myth and fantasy? If Secret Societies are real, why do they exist? How do they keep their secrets? What are these societies doing behind closed doors that is not for the prying eyes of the public? Do they truly vie for world dominance or is their cabal about something else entirely? In the early days of the American colonies two such societies flourished and were steeped in the revolution against the Biritsh Crown, the notoriously debaucherous Hellfire Club and The Freemasons. But where did these societies actually start? What was their intended purpose? What part did they play in the American revolution and founding of America and was it part of a global conspiracy to begin a “New World Order” as some believe?!
Join us as we deep dive into the topic of the Hellfire Club and Freemasonry in early America with Richard B Spence professor, author and host of the History Channel Great Courses Series: The Real History of Secret Societies.
