Rush's understanding is supported by historical events such as the Boston Tea Party. The colonists had already mentally rebelled against the parliament before the war. After England began taxing the colonists on goods, such as paper, sugar, and tea, the colonists began to despise parliament. The Boston Tea Party was a rebellion where the colonists threw tea off British ships into the harbor. This is an example of a mental revolution.
