No Common Ground is a book that tells a story of the American Civil War. It takes a journey into the history of Confederate monuments across America and looks at the efforts to remove them with an eye on the modern issues that are still trying to be resolved after 150 years.

"No Common Ground" is a story of resistance. It tells the story of how a group of young activists in Durham, North Carolina, pushed their community to take down four Confederate monuments in the city. The book is also a testament to what can be accomplished when people work together despite their differences.

The first book in a trilogy that looks at the place of Confederate monuments across America, from the Civil War to present day

In this audiobook, author Karen L. Cox discusses the ongoing struggle to remove monuments of Confederate leaders and the ongoing debate over removing monuments to the Confederacy. She examines why so many cities and states are still moving forward with their plans to remove these monuments, as well as how these movements affect communities in different ways depending on the local community.

No Common Ground is an informative and well-researched account that showcases the continuing saga of Confederate monuments and how they're both changing and influencing society. The book includes a history of the monuments, the reasons why they were erected, and their subsequent removal. Cox also discusses how contemporary society has been influenced by these monuments, providing examples ranging from political responses to protests against desegregation in the 1950s to contemporary legal cases that have forced states to take down these historical memorials.

This book is an attempt to examine the ongoing campaign of monuments honoring Confederate soldiers, which are currently proliferating at a frightening pace. Cox seems to feel that this movement represents the glorification of "white supremacy" and the erasure of the contributions made by African Americans and other people of color in building our nation. The author argues that these monuments have become flashpoints for violence, and provide an opportunity for deniers to engage in their favorite pastime--namely, denying racism exists and suggesting the Civil War was fought over states' rights alone
