In the 16th century, Sir Francis Bacon was at the helm of such societies as the leader of the Rosicrucians and first Grand Master of modern Freemasonry. As such, he is considered by some to be the true founder of America.

How were the founding fathers impacted by Bacon’s plan? And is America being driven by this vision today? Approx. 172 minutes.
