I was reading the other day and someone made the case that Washington was somewhat embarrassed about his freemason past. Much later in life he even seemed to denounce the practice and expressed regret that he had ever participated in rituals with them.
Then there's the whole Hamilton, a strange dude all around, vs Burr, a definite traitorous british agent hellbent on the destruction of the republic and it's eventual return into british hands. He got a lot of things sideways, and a lot of his ideas were twisted after his death, but his heart did seem to be in the right place.
Franklin. I'll give you that. The guy spent his whole life into all kinds of "secret societies" and seemed to eagerly participate in the earlier forms of the "deep state" for his own aggrandizement.
Anyways.. had to be a fucking hell of an environment pulling off a revolution.. and most of that history has been erased.
