Freemasonry vs "The Morgan Affair"

On this date 196 years ago, September 12, 1826, William Morgan was kidnapped from his jail cell in Canandaigua, New York, triggering what has been dubbed the "The Morgan Affair."

Morgan, a member of the Fraternity, purportedly planned to expose the secrets of Freemasonry in print, causing a stir amongst local Freemasons. The press speculated that he was kidnapped and killed for this reason.

This incident sparked anti-Masonic sentiments across the United States and resulted in America's first "Third Party" in politics - the Anti-Masonic Party.

This movement had strong support in Pennsylvania, being lead by firebrand Thaddeus Stevens.
