Freemasonry in the Revolutionary Atlantic World uncovers the vast networks of trade and political influence that Masonic lodges fostered-from the bustling streets of London and Paris to the distant shores of colonial New England, the West Indies, and even far-flung European colonies in Asia and Africa. As the first peer-reviewed work to highlight Freemasonry's pivotal role in organizing resistance to British rule in the American colonies, this groundbreaking book offers fresh insights into the legendary yet largely untold story of Freemasonry in the American Revolution, the early American Republic, and the wider European colonial world.
