""Why Masonic Guardians of Liberty?"" by Thomas M. Stewart is a book that explores the history and influence of Freemasonry on the development of American democracy. The author argues that Freemasonry played a significant role in shaping the values and principles that underpin American democracy, including individual liberty, equality, and religious tolerance. The book traces the origins of Freemasonry in Europe and its spread to America, where it became a dominant force in the colonial era and beyond. Through a series of case studies, the author demonstrates how Freemasonry influenced key figures in American history, including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson, and how its values continue to shape American society today. The book also examines the controversies and criticisms that have been directed at Freemasonry over the years, and offers a balanced and nuanced perspective on its role in American history. Overall, ""Why Masonic Guardians of Liberty?"" is a fascinating and informative exploration of an often-overlooked aspect of American history and culture.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Symbolic Teachings or Masonry and Its Message, by Thomas M.
