It did not fit the Narrative the Rulers have been pushing for decades. See Lincoln conceded the dispute of slavery to the southern States prior to their session - so showing a Northern Slave State to the Lo-infos would have caused too many questions on the official narrative of the Civil war was over Slavery.
It is true that MO was a Confederate state in spirit, but Nathaniel Lyons scattered the government before they could secede. Therefore, it stayed a Union state
Kentucky and Tennessee were also Union states, but they are placed in the South.
That is a good point.
Germany despite being scientifically advanced and having lots of machines depended on horses for the majority of their transport right to the end of the war.
No, CNN is absolutely on target here. Afterall they are Clueless News Network. News always fits to their idea, not reality.
I was just taking a guess as to why MO was depicted that way. May be wrong.
I was wrong. Tennessee did begin as a Southern state, but Kentucky did not.
The only significant area of Missouri that held Union sympathies was St. Louis and environs. The rest of the state was, to varying degrees, slave-holding and sympathetic to the Confederacy. This fact, btw, explains why the St. Louis police force -- to this DAY -- is run by Jefferson City.
Missouri may be shown as a "union" state by one or another misbegotten news network, but as to simple fact, such a depiction is purest rubbish. Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware were slave states that did not secede, and that's the nuts of the situation.
FReegards, m'FRiend!
That’s because the liberal idiots that work for CNN do not know anything about anything.
Also Kentucky.
Not true. It was occupied by Union forces, but it did, in fact, secede from the union.
There are many people pontificating today about the Civil War, Lincoln, slavery, and abolition -- from both ends of the political spectrum -- who don't realize that all the slave states didn't secede ... and that the confederacy would almost certainly have won its independence had they done so. Lincoln was doing a tap dance on abolition for very good reason.
Only after they were deposed. votes for secession failed prior to that.
MO broke away, it was only under Union rule, thus the reps were replaced and the union soldiers took care of anyone who disagreed.

True. And?
Actual facts aren’t really important. What is really important is how you feel about the issue.
If you listen closely to the film at Mount Rushmore you will learn that our country was established for “life, liberty, and the pursuit of social justice.” Not kidding.
My brother also caught another misquote in their display area, but I forgot that one.
This is a National Park!
There were only two states in which the population voted on secession. They were Texas and Florida.
I used to think it was only Florida but someone here on FR corrected me and I looked it up. They were right. Both states voted overwhelmingly to secede.
