I've got the November 1952 F&SF in front of me.  The Moore novella
takes up pages 24-112.  On the first page (p24), the third paragraph
beings:

"Granpa Hodgins after whom I was named, perhaps a little
grandiloquently, Hodgins McCormick Backmaker, had been a
veteran of the War of Southron Independence."

On page 25, I find "Instead the chivalrous Southrons contented
themselves with drawing the new boundary along more or less
traditional lines."

And, further down page 25, "They were not speaking of the fairly
recent Emperors' War of 1914-16, but of the War of Southron
Independence which still, nearly 70 years later, blighted what
was left of the United States."

Probably more instances could be found with further reading,
but I suspect these will do.  Let me know if you'd like me to
send you photocopies of the pages.
