Southern Men from Missouri, by the 10s of thousands, including the Missouri State Guard, fought for the South during the War.

The 12th & 13th Stars on Confederate flags are for Missouri & Kentucky.

Welcome HOME, Missouri!

But you should know better than trying to present facts to this discussion.

It was pretty well accepted at the time that if Federal troops had not taken over the state government Missouri would have seceded. It was pretty much the same thing in Maryland. Both states had some very pro-southern loyalties. East Tennessee on the other hand was very pro-unionist. Many men from East Tennessee fought for the union.

Harry Truman's mother would not sleep in the Lincoln bedroom when she visited the White House. She was a witness to the Missouri/Kansas border war.
