Missouri is a partially Southern state

I know the Rant loves their maps to prove points, so I present you this fact: Missouri is 2/3 Midwestern and 1/3 Southern.
13 stars
Southern Culture
Not to mention that Missouri shares borders with Tennessee, Arkansas, and Kentucky and is only 60 miles away from Mississippi.
Now to be clear, I recognize that a majority of Missouri is considered "Midwestern". But there is also a good portion of Missouri that is undoubtedly Southern. As far as I'm concerned, Missouri deserves equal respect that Kentucky gets. If you count Kentucky as a Southern state, then you should consider Missouri one too. We may not be as "Southern" as the rest of the SEC, but we are FAR from "yankees", which is an insulting term to those of us Missourians who have ancestors that fought for the Confederacy.
Anyways, this is my rant. I think it's hard to deny that Southern culture overlaps into southern Missouri in a wide variety of ways, as well as Missouri almost always being at least "in the conversation" of being Southern. However, I know I'll never change the opinion of the Rant, but I had to get it off my chest.

Missouri is already part of the Rivalry Faction (LSU, A&M, Arkansas, Missouri). After burning Lawrence for a tuneup we're swinging back east.

Anyone that has spent more than 15 minutes in Branson knows this to be true. It is basically Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg West.

We are the meth kingpins. That must account for something.

Yes.

If that means we southerners can lay claim to Sam Clemens as one of our own, then I'm inclined to agree with you.

Missouri is definitely a midwest state. But the midwest is the first cousin of the south. Culturally they're very similar.

Why Missouri will never belong.

Leave the SEC, you are not southern, not good enough, and most importantly not wanted.
Posted on 6/6/13 at 4:30 am to KCM0Tiger
You're not southern. DWI

If you have to present a slide show to try and convince yourself and others you're not a Yankee then you're a Yankee.

Sorry...the only true map to determine if you are really Southern or not...what you call a soft drink. Soda??? I think not, Yankee.
Just saw this is Germans from another post...but my map is better.

Hey I like the south, but being from STL I don't consider myself southern, but there are part of MO that are. as far as the civil war that everyone keeps making ref to I would side with the ideals of the North, but with that being said I love being in the SEC

I'm so glad the Bible Belt doesn't extend to where I live
