The discovery and migration of people to the Americas occurred over several centuries. The explorers were searching for a new land where they could freely practice their religion without fear of being persecuted by the established denominations in the Old World. The
persecuted Knights of the Temple Mount also known as the Knights Templar explored the lands of Canada in 1362. Another Templar, Christopher Columbus, explored the Caribbean Islands and South America over a century later. The Knights Templars’ principles of freedom were passed on through the Freemasons who incorporated those ideas of freedom into our founding documents.
