I'm sure you were intended basic_string<char> bs1;

You cannot use basic_string<string>, because
std::string is NOT a char-like type (which shall be POD).

>   bs1 += "ABC";

Actually, if it was possible to instantiate basic_string<string>,
it would be an equivalent to
     bs1 += string("ABC");
that is, for ordinary strings (basic_string<char>), an equivalent to
     bs1 += 'a';

Hope it helps,
