I'd say that the original "republic" as it was intended changed with the Civil War / War of Northern Aggression. The others mentioned by the author would indeed be labelled as such for dramatic effect, as you pointed out.

pre-articles of confederation, articles of confederation, and the constitution would be the three american republics if anything. also that northern aggression always makes me lol.
