Things changed and fraternalism wasn't a big thing then for the younger people of the era.
It was mainly the affiliated orders that spread, through their branches, the idea of fraternalism to the United States, where it reached its apex in the 1920s, when roughly every third adult American male belonged to a fraternal society (Beito 2000, 2).
It is the lack of fraternalism that seems to bode so ill.
