themselves to Masonic lodges in Europe and America. In 1780,
Weishaupt recruits Adolf Francis (Baron Knigge), which allowed the
hierarchical structure of the Order to expand to completion.
Weishaupt sought absolute obedience to him and other influential

Jacobianism.” Barruel comes to similar conclusions as Robison, that
when the Illuminati was outlawed it went underground and resurfaced
as an organization called the German Union, which played a role in
creating the French Revolution in 1789. This thesis is later
discussed in 1918 with Stauffer's New England and the Bavarian

and the Eclectic Alliance, which was used as a cover for converting
Masonic lodges to Illuminism between 1780 and 1784.
