His units <strong>of</strong> Indian tribes committed such cruel massacres that<br />

Great Britain threatened to intervene "for humanitarian reasons". <strong>The</strong><br />

President <strong>of</strong> the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis (1809-1889), was there-<br />

fore forced to act against his own general and disband the Indian<br />

units. After the Civil War, Pike was found guilty <strong>of</strong> treason by a court<br />

martial for his evil deeds and imprisoned.<br />

<strong>The</strong> freemasons turned to President Andrew Johnson, who was a<br />

freemason himself (Greenville Lodge No. 19). On the 22 April 1866,<br />

President Johnson pardoned Pike. <strong>The</strong> very next day Pike visited the<br />

president in the White House. Johnson was actually Pike's subordi-<br />

nate within <strong>freemasonry</strong>. For nine months the American press was<br />

kept uninformed about this (William T. Still, "New World Order: <strong>The</strong><br />

Ancient Plan <strong>of</strong> Secret Societies", Lafayette, Louisiana, 1990, p. 123).<br />

On 20 June 1867, President Johnson was conferred upon - from<br />

the fourth degree to the thirty-second within the Scottish Rite. He<br />

later went to Boston to dedicate a masonic Temple.<br />

Albert Pike was one <strong>of</strong> the founders <strong>of</strong> the infamous white<br />

supremacy organization, the Ku Klux Klan, to which many free-<br />

masons belonged. <strong>The</strong> freemasons have firmly denied this, but he was<br />

actually the first Grand Dragon <strong>of</strong> the Klan in Arkansas and wrote the<br />

anthem and rules <strong>of</strong> the organization. His racist articles in his news-<br />

paper <strong>The</strong> Memphis Daily Appeal were written in the spirit <strong>of</strong> the Ku<br />

Klux Klan, for instance the one published on 16 April 1868. Here Pike<br />

shows his disgust for the blacks and speaks out for forming an<br />

organization for "every white man in the South, who is opposed to<br />

Negro suffrage", because "with Negroes witnesses and jurors the<br />

administration <strong>of</strong> justice becomes a blasphemous mockery".<br />

In 1868, he also wrote: "I took my obligation to white men, not to<br />

Negroes and when I have to accept Negroes as brothers or leave free-<br />

masonry, I shall leave <strong>freemasonry</strong>." (Charles W. Ferguson, "Fifty<br />

Million Brothers", New York, 1937, p. 186)<br />

In 1868, Pike moved to Washington, D.C., and practiced law in the<br />

Federal Courts until 1880. He died in at his desk in his <strong>of</strong>fice at the<br />

Scottish Rite Temple in Washington, D.C. on 2 April 1891.<br />
