Freemasonry in the USA

I believe Freemasonry plays a big role in the USA.
Indeed, the founders of the USA were freemasons,
such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere, John Hancock.
The great seal of the USA, the Pyramide with the eye, is masonic.
The statue of liberty in NYC was created by a freemason.
The first president of the USA, George Washington, was a freemason.
And even after him there were much more freemasons,
such as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson.

But who brought freemasonry to America?
According to this authentic Jewish Website, it was Jews:
Jewish names appear among the founders of Freemasonry in colonial America, and in fact it is probable that Jews were the first to introduce the movement into the country. Tradition connects Mordecai Campanall, of Newport, Rhode Island, with the supposed establishment of a lodge there in 1658. In Georgia four Jews appear to have been among the founders of the first lodge, organized in Savannah in 1734. Moses Michael Hays, identified with the introduction of the Scottish Rite into the United States, was appointed deputy inspector general of Masonry for North America in about 1768. In 1769 Hays organized the King David's Lodge in New York, moving it to Newport in 1780. He was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts from 1788 to 1792. Moses *Seixas was prominent among those who established the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island, and was Grand Master from 1802 to 1809. A contemporary of Hays, Solomon *Bush, was deputy inspector general of Masonry for Pennsylvania, and in 1781 Jews were influential in the Sublime Lodge of Perfection in Philadelphia which played an important part in the early history of Freemasonry in America. Other early leaders of the movement included: Isaac da *Costa (d. 1783), whose name is found among the members of King Solomon's Lodge, Charleston, in 1753; Abraham Forst, of Philadelphia, deputy inspector general for Virginia in 1781; and Joseph Myers, who held the same office, first for Maryland, and later for South Carolina. In 1793 the cornerstone ceremony for the new synagogue in Charleston, South Carolina, was conducted according to the rites of Freemasonry.​
And according to the authentic The Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and its Kindred Sciences,
freemasonry has its origin in the Solomonic Temple:
During the long period in which the hypothesis was accepted as a fact, its influence was being exerted in molding the Masonic organizations into a form closely connected with all the events and characteristics of the Solomonic Temple. So that now almost all the Symbolism of Freemasonry rests upon or is derived from the House of the Lord at Jerusalem. So closely are the two connected, that to attempt to separate the one from the other would be fatal to the further existence of Freemasonry. Each Lodge is and must be a symbol of the Jewish Temple, each Master in the chair representing the Jewish King, and every Freemason a personation of the Jewish Workman.
And how much played Jews a role in the revolutionary war of the USA?
Well, a big role:
Haym Solomon,
Mordecai Sheftall,
Francis Salvador,
Isaac Moses,
Aaron Lopez,
Solomon Bush,
David Franks,
and much more.

Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
But who brought freemasonry to America?
According to this authentic Jewish Website, it was Jews:
This is a misrepresentation of the website. The website spends the BULK of its words describing how controversial Jewish membership in freemasonry was. It does mention some of the Jewish masons who came from Europe to the US, but NOT in a way that means "Jews brought freemasonry to the US." Rather, these freemason Jews were part of a very large group that brought freemasonry to the US, most of whom were NOT Jews.

This is the second post from you that tries to paint freemasonry as a Jewish group when it is not.
