P.A.S. Report | Political Analysis, American Politics & Constitution
Jonas Clarke helped prepare Lexington for the American Revolution years before the first shot on Lexington Green. Why did roughly seventy-five militiamen stand against a British expedition nearly 700 men strong on April 19, 1775? The answer begins years earlier inside Lexington's meetinghouse.
In this episode of America's Founding Series on The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano reveals how Reverend Jonas Clarke helped shape Lexington's resistance through sermons, town meetings, natural rights, limited government, and constitutional principles. Discover Paul Revere's midnight arrival at Clarke's parsonage, the remarkable story of Prince Estabrook, the enslaved Black patriot wounded at the Battle of Lexington, and Clarke's later role in the Massachusetts Constitution. His story delivers a warning for America today: citizens cannot defend liberty, self-government, private property, and constitutional rights if they never learn the principles that sustain them.
