A visit with General Albert Pike

I assume the recent Albert Pike thread was deleted because of issues with the OP. ?

But I thought it an interesting topic. This is the video of a visit with Albert Pike including commentary on symbolism, secrecy, religious opposition, slavery and the Civil War.

He is portrayed as saintly and wise. Where did masonry go wrong? What are sources on the dark side of Pike?



The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown is an adventurous tale on a dark infiltration of such a society.
