Have you read an 1872 book by Richard Frothingham, "The Rise of the Republic of the United States?"

I mention it because it fills in the broad brush strokes in Rush's commentary on the 17th century American colonies.

Great Britain sowed the seeds of our revolution when it was so preoccupied with civil wars that its colonies were almost entirely on their own. It left us in a near perfect Lockean state of nature in which we had to exercise harmonious self government or perish.

No, I have not read it, but I probably should.
