The book challenges modern notions of American history; the author argues, among other viewpoints, that America's founding fathers were conservatives, the War on Poverty made poverty worse and that hundreds of American liberals had ties to the Soviet Union during the McCarthy Era.
Historian David Greenburg says that the book is written to conform to a right-wing position. He rejects the idea that the assumptions made by Woods, such as his representation of European explorations as being by people who had the same language and religion, are conservative.[cite news |first=Alex |last=Chadwick |title=Slate's History Lesson: American History for Dummies| work=Day to Day| publisher=National Public Radio, Inc. | date=March 16, 2005 | accessdate=2007-06-13 | language=English .
