No Common Ground:
Confederate Monuments
and the Ongoing Fight
for Racial Justice
(Ferris & Ferris, U of
NC Press)
Chapter 1 (p. 13)
Monuments were placed
on the Southern landscape
by white Southerners whose
intentions were not to preserve
history but to glorify a heritage
that did not resemble historical
facts. . .negating the legacy of
slavery and suggesting that
all white southerners were
committed to the Confederate
cause, which they were not.
