I think it makes a direct point.  Or you could just entitle it "Irony."  Or
"Poetic Justice."  It's a great catch whatever you call it.

As a sun-starved Yankee, I was uncertain which universe I was in the first
time I saw that monument.  I may have thought of a comment about South
Carolina that was recounted in Ken Burn's documentary on the Civil War:
"Too small to be a country in its own right, but too large to be an insane
asylum."
