Although Freemasonry is a subject that is seldom explored in Korea, in Mexico it is considered an institution that played a very important role during the movement for Mexican Independence and subsequent formation of the new state. In particular, after achieving independent statehood, the conflicts between two Freemasons, the so called “los liberales” (York rite) and “los conservadores” (Scottish rite) lasted many more years, and led to serious consequences for Mexican policy. This study will reveal and clarify the role of Freemasonry in the independence process of Mexico. This paper investigates thoroughly the participation of Masons in the War of Independence and the subsequent construction of the first Federal Republic of Mexico, allowing a more concrete view of Mexico’s Freemasonry and Mexican Independence.
