BACON'S "SECRET SOCIETY": THE EPHRATA CONNECTION
by Linda S. Schrigner, et al .

SECTION 1 - BACKGROUND OF SECRET SOCIETY
by Linda S. Schrigner

Francis Bacon [1561-1626] was Lord Chancellor of England’s colonies in America. Manly Hall found that Bacon’s “secret society” as he put it,

“. . . was set up in America before the middle of the 17th century. Bacon himself had given up all hope of bringing his dream to fruition in his own country, and he concentrated his attention upon rooting it in the new world. He made sure that the American colonists were thoroughly indoctrinated with the principles of religious tolerance, political democracy, and social equality. Through carefully appointed representatives the machinery of democracy was set up at least a hundred years before the period of the Revolutionary War.”

Bacon’s “dream”, of course, was of a government of philosophers, reminiscent of Plato's Republic. He wrote of it himself in a utopian allegory, The New Atlantis.
