William Morgan (the one who published the book on Freemasonry)

William Morgan was an American who, in the early 19th century, authored a book critical of Freemasonry, revealing its rituals and secrets. This publication sparked controversy and unrest, particularly in New York, where anti-Masonic sentiments surged. Morgan was then mysteriously kidnapped and disappeared in 1826, leading to widespread speculation about his fate and fueling fears of conspiracy. His disappearance contributed to the rise of the anti-Masonic movement in the United States, which opposed the secretive society's influence on politics and society. Morgan's case remains a significant historical event highlighting tensions around secret organizations and transparency.
