The militia that formed in Columbia during the Civil War was named the Missouri Tigers. They were a feared group whose presence alone deterred would-be invaders. Missouri has a lot of great Civil War stories, this being one of them.

Have you really never noticed that I am a Missouri fan or that my Avi is a tiger for support of Missouri? I guess since all you do is flame Aggie threads, you missed those things...

This is not true. The Columbia Militia was created to protect the city of Columbia. It took a neutral stance and pledged to keep any and all combatants from both sides OUT of columbia.

There's not much in Missouri to make a man come.

Please. Little Dixie and south was southern-leaning. We were a split state, true, but more than "a small portion" was southern.

I'm from Columbia, Missouri.
The elementary school I attended is called Ulysses S. Grant Elementary.
There's another elementary school down the road right there in town called Robert E. Lee Elementary.
I always wondered if the City of Columbia was implying that a bunch of third graders should fire cannon balls at each other and stab each other with bayonets.
Ain't no kinda schizo like Border State schizo. Am I rite, Kentucky?

Goddammit, not another fricking Missouri in the Civil War history lesson.
This is why we can't have nice fricking things.
Let's go ahead and start the obligatory Missouri isn't southern discussion, for the 716647th time.
Y'all. Yinz. You guys.
Pop, soda, coke.
Sweet tea.
Etc, etc, etc.

Honestly, it beats being called "Slavers" by kansas fans like we have been for the last 100 years or so. Or watching them wear "red legs" as part of their uniform for games at Mizzou in honor of the jayhawkers' history of burning and looting Southern-leaning Missouri towns like Osceola.
Funniest thing was leaving our last Border War game with ku in 2011 and there was a Beaker standing at the stadium exit with a big sign that read "Big 12 Now Confederate Free." I and others stopped by to point out to this genius that Texas was part of the Confederacy, but he kept right on going. ku stoopid knows no bounds.

This is not true
Yes it is. here, read for yourself
Some 90 men assembled to protect the township — not from jayhawkers, but from fellow Missourians determined to win one for the Confederacy.
The Columbia Tigers were local residents and businesspeople just trying to hang on to their livelihoods, Prater said.
In the fall of 1864, rumors were wild that Confederate Gen. Sterling Price’s invasion army would strike at Columbia, where the lone building representing the college, Academic Hall, was held by Union forces and served as a prison for Southern sympathizers.
Anti-Union guerrillas led by William “Bloody Bill” Anderson were on a tear on the north side of the river.
