The first question was why did Baron Auguste Hugo Debulow come to America in 1864? Was his sole
purpose to give colored men the Scottish Rite 33°? If we follow this analogy Baron Debulow would not have exalted white men to th 33°; or was Baron Debulow's purpose establishing a central Scottish Rite Supreme Council within the United States to create Scottish Rite Masonic Amity between Northern and Southern territories in the midst of fighting a civil war. During this time the Northern Jurisdiction had two separate Supreme Councils each claiming others territory was vacant but neither had established a masonic path for immigrants and colored people in accordance with the Scottish rite principle of tolerance.
Baron Debulow, a french military colonel knew this move would create a platform for tolerance, liberty and equality within the biggest fraternal men's organization in the United States at the time "The Scottish Rite".
