The Columbia Tigers were a more potent fighting unit than the Louisiana Tigers

The Columbia Tigers were universally regarded as one of the toughest fighting units in the civil war. Even had a movie made about them. They succeeded in the sacking of Lawrence, KS while being outmanned and outgunned. Lauded for their resilience, grit, and intelligence...the Columbia Tigers are held as one of the fiercest militias of the civil war era.

The Louisiana Tigers on the otherhand are often regarded as a rag tag group full of cowards and turncoats who would often desert the field of battle. They were key members of several lost battles before being disbanded in shame towards the end of the war.

Yet Missouri still lost their mini-Civil War with Kansas. At least the Louisiana Tigers were fighting in the real deal.

Wrong. Missouri was for the Union. Only a few southern sympathizers fought against Kansas.

Missouri won, Louisiana lost

This is the most pathetic thread I've ever seen.

Ragtag? Yeah there was a lot of Irish immigrants in the unit. It was a volunteer unit. Cowards? Hell no. They were documented as exactly the opposite. They lost several battles, yeah, because the CSA was outmanned and outgunned. Disbanded in shame? Well duh, the CSA lost and a volunteer unit disbanded.

It's almost like you're an idiot or something.

The Columbia Tigers merely defended Columbia, MO. The Tigers never attacked

The Tigers were Not Quantrells guerillas

Congratulations on being a bigger failure I guess. Confederacy still lost.

You disgrace your own heritage.

Must not really care about that heritage.

Just another southern pretender.

We are the Yankees of the SEC. We wear modern uniforms

Embrace your real heritage. Don't pretend to be southern

What do bowing to Nike's trash demands have to do with being Yankees? Last I checked these schools weren't Southern and they seem to have a pretty good grasp of their traditional threads

How "traditional" is Wisconsin? They've only worn that uniform since 1992, or about as long as Florida

You are mistaken. Missouri was a slave state - the reason it was admitted to the US was so the South would agree to boundary line established in the Missouri Compromise. The entire cause of "Bleeding Kansas" was the conflict between the proslavery forces in Missouri - "Border Ruffians" - and abolitionists in Kansas - "Jayhawkers."

This was the most significant action in Missouri during the Civil War era. In the actual Civil War, Missouri played an extremely peripheral role, contributing small numbers of troops to both sides. This was so insignificant that those outside of Missouri seldom know that this was a thing.
