Ummm. Fremasonry sometimes claims to date back to the days of King Solomon, but any honest masonic historian will tell you that it doesn't really; at most, it dates back to the late middle ages/Renaissance.

And Prince Hall Freemasonry, while certainly important, is but one branch of American Freemasonry, and it was not the first branch established in the US.
