Chess notation is a code. Unless you understand the code, you cannot read it. This book is written in a similar manner. The student does not need to learn a great many names or dates, because they do not help the student understand what is really going on. Realistically, names and dates are material that you will memorize and likely forget once this course is over. Instead, like chess notation, the way this book is written and the manner in which this course is taught is meant to aid you in actually understanding why events occurred and what might have happened had the course of events gone differently. One move in a chess game can change the direction of the game. So too with history, one event can change the course of the future. What if Lincoln had not been elected president? What if the Japanese had not bombed Pearl Harbor? What if women had stayed at home and not become active players in the American economy? Historians think in terms of these sorts of counterfactuals all the time. In this book and in my course, I want you to think, not about what actually happened exclusively, but also about what might have been if certain events had not occurred. America's present is not by accident. It had been shaped by many well thought out 'moves' on the chessboard of history (and some not so well thought out…). The student should think in terms of what events mean rather than when they occurred. Learning how to think about historical events critically will enable the student to participate in and understand American history as it proceeds. Conservatives and liberals propose two very different directions for America's future. Studying history in this manner will aid the student in deciding which direction makes the most logical sense to them. This is what the game of American history is all about. Your move.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
