Wang Chun loves him some fried chicken.

Also no one cares about KFC. Shits gross. There are tons of other chicken joints that haven't sold their souls like the Colonel did.
Wow just realized how off topic this board has gotten.

"Hmmm...national branding aimed at getting people all over the country and world rather than staying too local, with an emphasis on quick turnover, getting people in and out of there fast and then churning still more people through...I like your style, Colonel."

People pronounce "pin" and "pen" the same way?

This is a good map, too
Texas is half southern half midwestern

South Missouri is a bit like Arkansas. I lived in St Louis for 4 yrs and there is nothing southern about it or Columbia.
In reality I think of Missouri as the Midwest. KC and STL are midwestern cities like Minneapolis, Chicago, Indy, Cleveland, Cincy, etc.
Yes I see confederate flags but people don't talk about southern pride, call other people yankees, northerners, etc.

That explains Missouri's history pretty good. Most famous people from Missouri supported the south. Former Governors, Truman, James brothers, Josey Wales, Bill Anderson, etc. You really don't know of anyone from Missouri that supported the Union but the state was divided.

St.Louis area is a nice place to live but Yankee all the way. Not near as bad as the northeast., frick dem idiots.
What's funny about that is most of the people that settle in ST. Louis are from the South.

Yes but after the war they took on more Northern tendencies. I think after the war is where Kentucky and Missouri split. Its said that Kentucky seceded after the war.

Depends on what part of the state. There was ethnic Cleansing in the Ozarks after the war. Things were worse in Missouri for blacks compared to the deep south. Towns like Joplin, Springfield, Monett, Pierce City, along with Arkansas Ozark towns try to run every black out. Lynchings, black sections burned, etc.
I read the book "White Man's Heaven". A black person from Mississippi that was traveling through that almost got lynched said it was worse in Missouri than in Mississippi.
ETA: That's why there was controversy from Missouri State's Band for playing "Dixie" at the town square marking the anniversary of 3 black men lynched in Springfield. Happened last Nov.... Mizzou's band also played Dixie in the past at football games, of course that's where the most slaves and most southerners settle, along the Missouri river area.
Most people don't even know Langston Hughes is from Joplin. His family was apart of the group that fled the Ozarks in the early 1900's when the black section of Joplin was burned. Hughes claimed Harlem,NYC and hardly ever mentioned Joplin because of the things that happened.

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.
Um this map is waaaay better. Religion trumps "SODA, COKE, POP" maps. Religion is what you base your culture, beliefs, traditions, values, etc off of. Funny how Missouri sticks out like sore dumb compared to the other Midwestern States when it comes to RELIGION(STL area=Catholic). Wanna know why, because most people that settle Missouri came from the south trace their roots to the south, hence OKLAHOMA.

From just over the river in Alton, IL (whose editor/writer Elijah Lovejoy was killed and the paper's press thrown in the Mississippi in the early 1800s due to his anti-slavery stance) to the southern mountains and woods, I'd say you have a good argument with the state being, at least partially, southern.
Any further north and to the west, and the state dramatically changes to midwestern and farming communities.
I like St. Louis though. It is a great sports town.

If putting ham on your hamburgers is a southern thing, I'm happy that Missouri is a yankee state.
ham on hamburgers sounds god awful!

The fact that you have to defend it proves you aren't southern.
