Summary

Placing a unique emphasis on cause and effect relationships over time, this history of the United States emphasizes the intertwined nature of three key characteristics of time sequence, simultaneity, and contingency. The authors convey how events grow from other events, people's actions, and sequence, and how apparently disconnected events occur in close chronological proximity to one another.
