N2  - This groundbreaking work explores the important role of the 18th century masonic movement in transAtlantic trade, politics, and social development. It offers important new insight into the role of freemasonry in forming international trade networks, its role in organizing resistance to British rule in the American colonies, and masonry’s role in the development of Haiti, the wider Caribbean, and the African Atlantic. With special focus on the vibrant international masonic networks emanating from Boston and Saint Domingue, this book explores the formation of commercial and political networks that altered the face of the Atlantic world and the early American republics.
