Who was John Witherspoon? The only clergyman to sign the Declaration of Independence, Witherspoon was a well-known fixture of political and religious discourse. Today he is, in Dr. Jeffry Morrison's words, "the most interesting Founder you've never heard of." Morrison talks with host James Patterson about his 2003 book, John Witherspoon and the Founding of the American Republic, and more.
