If one of the qualifications to be a freemason is being free born and Prince Hall was allegedly born a slave how was he entered, passed, and raised ?

To understand this, you must first wash away centuries of misinterpretation of the word "Freeborn" or the term "Free Born".

It did not mean "Not born a slave".

It was used to clarify the term, "Able of birth", which meant you were "superior stock" and able to undergo training to become a Journeyman.

There is no record of Prince Hall ever being a slave. His early life is unrecorded and "theorized." Beyond that, what Brother John said.
