Mizzou is no exception. Yet while Missouri's history during the war is most notable for Quantrill, Bloody Bill Anderson, the James Brothers who were all confederates...
The Missouri "Tigers" were named after a Union militia that organized around Columbia to protect the city from those guys after they burned down Lawrence, KS.
Missouri having a bit of an identity crisis is not a recent phenomenon. The western side of the state never really recovered after Order No. 11 when the Union came in and literally burnt everything along the border to the ground to stop the violence between the two sides - often neighbors going at each other.
