My comment: The title above is the one that appears in the print. The online title, which adds "U.S." prior to "Civil War South" makes the meaning clearer. When I read the print this morning, at first I was puzzled what "Civil War South" meant.


Compare with
Christopher Bodeen, China cautions Obama over meeting Dalai Lama. Associated Press, Nov. 12, 2009.

("Chinese officials, including former President Jiang Zemin, have invoked Lincoln before, but usually in the context of unification with Taiwan, the self-governing island that Beijing claims as its own territory. Qin's apparently unscripted remarks were the first known instance of using Lincoln in reference to Tibet and the Dalai Lama.")
