Missouri has a midwestern feel, however it does have it's share of jaw harps, banjos and jugs.

This is way too simplistic. No way Idaho goes along with California, Oregon and Washington.

My ancestors fought across “ Bloody Kansas” a few years before the recent unpleasantness in 1860. (We’re not sure which side though. Probably for the crooks.)

Keep Missouri in the South. But exclude St. Louis and its ghettos.

Same goes for Texas. We need to become a Republic again. But leave Austin out of it.

Even without school shootings, Hollywood train wrecks, or palace intrigue, Daily Mail will always have material in the form of arguments on the internet.

'I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missourah!' a man declared, whose comments history suggests he lives in Alabama - and who further poked fun at how some in the southern part of Missouri pronounce the state's name.

I've always heard Missourah was the correct pronunciation and everyone always mispronounces it.

See the movie “Long Riders” for proof of that. The Younger’s and James’ clans home.

Missouri is the population center of the U.S.

Just call it that and keep it separate from the the other regions.

St Louis has many historic functions. We all know it is the beginning of the West, with that little archy thing sticking 630 ft into the air right next to that big muddy crick.

But it is also the beginning of the South. Go south of town and you are suddenly in the land of Mizzour-ah, biscuits, ribs, briskets and RV dealerships the size of Toledo.

Missouri fielded two brigades in the Civil War. Both fought for the South. In addition, Missouri was a slave state and fought the abolitionist Jayhawkers in Kansas, a bitter rivalry surviving to this day. Finally, Mizzou is a proud member of the SEC. We belong in the southern block. We’ve EARNED it.

West would just become Greater California in that map. But that’s happening already...

I always thought that “Midwest” was an illogical name for what is the middle.

Virginia - NE, WV and KY - MW.

But otherwise, the map is pretty much spot on. I agree that MO is more Southern than Midwestern

All states take too much money from fedgov to separate and fedgov is 96% leftists. What state is going to cut 30-34% of their revenue?

Fat chance that Utah, Wyoming and Montana or Idaho join f***ing Kalif and Oregon. East Oregon and East Washington would split off. What you would really have is small urban enclaves surrounded by sane areas. Much of Kalif would split off also.

Won’t happen this way.

Pennsylvania will eject Philthydelphia.

New York will eject NYC.

THIS WILL BE METRO VS RURAL.

I’m from Alabama and felt right at home driving through southern Missouri.
