At some point in history, man found a way to bond with his fellow man, in an exclusive grouping system with organization and benefits. Whether it is early man as a clan or primitive humans staying together for safety and food, humans are drawn together because we are naturally social beings. Over the history of time, humans have found many ways of making themselves part of a lager whole in order to put themselves better off then being alone. In the early years of our great nation, our founding fathers found that being part of the Masons was not only helpful but made them more powerful, more exclusive, and more favorable to trust in a time where trust was something to be won and not just handed out. Fourteen of our nations Presidents as well as numerous other important and influential citizens have also been Masons, parts or founders of more modern Fraternities and social organizations, and important inventors, scientist and cultural icons. What is it that this exclusionary practice of men making themselves organized that has been made such a phenomenon in America for so many years and has appealed to so many young men over time and how has it affected our history is something that very few people consider, however without those bonds of manhood the history of our nation could be quite different.
