At a bare minimum, the bootheel of Missouri is 100% Southern
Having been there, I would agree. I tried to minimize severing certain states to include them in the South (you notice I only chopped off FL and VA.)
Do some Missourians call themselves Southerners? The residents of KC and STL are steadfast Midwesterners, as are those in Columbia, but how about towns like Branson and Cape Girardeau?

Yes. Basically draw a line around the Missouri delta, which includes all of the Bootheel, and the population considers themselves Southerners. People outside of that area, such as in St. Louis, make fun of the way they talk.

The above-mentioned line does not include Cape Girardeau, which is a hill town. Branson is probably Midwestern based on not only the fact that it is western MO, but also the snowbirds from the north that have flocked there.
