Are you trying to brag about starting the worst conflict in American History, then only participating in it slightly?
They didn't even start it. The Battle of Wilson's Creek wasn't even the first major battle of the Civil War. Missouri supplied far more troops to the Union than they did the Confederacy, the state itself remained within the Union for the duration of the war, and of all the states within the Southeastern Conference, Missouri is probably the least southern of all of them.
Also...years before Missouri got itself involved in Bleeding Kansas, South Carolina came very close to seceding from the Union during the Nullification Crisis of 1832.

Why did the Missouri government, way back in 2008-2009, file the MIAC Strategic Report basically stating all Southerners are terrorists? LINK
And why does the Missouri Militia call themselves The Gamecocks?

Good question! I don't know. Have you been organizing terrorists in Missouri, Scrooster?

Cripes man, the UNITED STATES NEVER HAD A CIVIL WAR!
Why does everyone get this wrong?
It's The War Between the States
or
The War of Northern Agression
There never was a civil war.

Were they really normal?

The War Between the States
I think the war between the states is the most accurate explanation for what it truly was. Shelby Foote has a good quote about it something like "before the war, people when talking about the nation as a whole would say 'The United States are,' after the war, people would say 'The United States is.'"
But alas, the history gets written by the victors. Always has, always will

If all of Missouri was like Cape Girardeau, Missouri would be the South.

All of Missouri is more southern than all "southern" states. We've retained and embraced our "southern heritage" throughout the years.
The "south", on the other hand, has not. Y'all have been yankeefied.
