What's the difference between AF&AM and F&AM?
Today, there is no difference. F&AM means "Free & Accepted Masons";
AF&AM means "Ancient Free & Accepted Masons".
In 1723, a second Grand Lodge formed, which styled itself as ancient.
It issued charters in the colonies, as did the original Grand Lodge.
By the time the two Grand Lodges united in 1813, many U.S. Grand
Lodges had been formed in the United States, and each adopted one or
the other designations.
