Nobody knows how the Brotherhood of Freemasonry was formed or formed. The theory accepted by Masonic scholars is that it comes from medieval Masons Guild. The language and symbols used in the Brotherhood ceremony are those of this era. The oldest document on Masons is Regius Poem printed around 1390, this is a copy of the previous work. In 1717, the four huts in London formed the first large and small houses in the UK, and the record since then was more complete.
During the thirty years, the brothers spread to European and American colonies. Mason became very popular in colonial America. George Washington is Mason, Benjamin Franklin is the President of the Brotherhood of Pennsylvania, and Paul Libya of Massachusetts and Joseph Warren. Other famous masons related to the establishment of the United States include John Hancock, John Sullivan, Lafayette, Baron Fredrik von Stuben, Nathana El Green and John Paul Jones. Another Mason, the Supreme Court Secretary John Marshall, formed the Supreme Court in its present form.
Over the centuries, Freemasonry has developed into a global fraternity that emphasizes individual learning, self improvement, social improvement through personal involvement and charity. In the late 18th century, it was one of the most responsible organizations for the spread of ideals of enlightenment: human dignity and individual freedom, choice of all people, democratic government formation and the importance of public education. Mason will support the first public school in Europe and America
From the 19th century to the early 20th century, Freemasonry developed rapidly. At that time, the government did not provide a social "safety net". Establishing an orphanage at Freemasonry, the tradition of widows' homes and nursing homes is the only guarantee that many people know.

Scottish Presbyterian pastor James Anderson (who died in 1739) wrote his "traditional, wrong but historical masonic history". Clay figurine idea, God, "great architect" established Freemasonry, it had a sponsor Adam and patriarch. Even Jesus was cited as a "master" of the Christian church. They supported the construction of Noah's Ark, Tower of Babel, Pyramid, and Solomon's Temple. After all, Freemasonry borrows a lot from the history and tradition of the cult organization like Druids, Mittal, Egyptian clergy, and Rosace Cross, interwoven their own history.
Masonry's history proves its anti-Catholic character. In America, one of Freemason's leaders, General Albert Pike (1891) calls the Pope "deadly and betrayed enemy" and wrote as follows. Mankind, the most shameless fraud, an excuse for the spiritual power of every era. "In France, in 1877 and 1910 in Portugal, Freemasons ruled the government for a certain period and enacted laws to restrict church activities. Especially in education.

In Scotland, the history of the Freemason Association is closely related to the St. Claire (later Sinclair) family, Earl Rosslin. Until the end of the 18th century, St. Claire was a genetic master of Scottish Freemasonry. This honor came from a charter established by James VI of General Mason in 1601, which acknowledges that the family has been a guardian and protector of Mason Craft for many years.
