Your response makes no sense. You quoted two different parts of what I said and combined them into one message...

Those are the words of your very own, Latarian.

Most people that settle in Missouri came from states like Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana(French settlers). That's why Missouri was divided like it was. Most of it's population came from the south, brought slaves to Missouri. That's why it was a slave state with free states surrounding it.
People in Missouri who supported the south probably had it rougher than any other person that supported the south because of Missouri's location. Union troops surrounded Missouri from the West, North and East. People in the deep south like Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia didn't have that problem.
And if you really want to get technical, Missouri came from the Louisiana Territory. It was called the Missouri territory which made the states of Missouri and Arkansas. Arkansas came out of the Missouri territory when it was divided up into states.
