Most people usually put the whole state in one region, so even the southern looking parts of some states are still part of the Northeast and the Midwest. While the southern looking parts of Texas are still part of the Southwest. While the Caribbean looking parts of South Florida are still part of the Southeast. Etc.
I kind of agree with this. Missouri is not completely southern, but its more southern than Midwestern. Historically its a slave state, and while it technically stayed in the union it contributed to the confederacy. Also the confederacy claimed it. Today the area is a transistional area, but more southern than Midwestern. The far northern parts of the state tilt more toward the Midwest, but even there you can find some southern influence. The southern parts of the state, especially the bootheal are completely southern. It does make sense to move it IMO.
Missouri is not more Southern than Midwestern. Opposite way around. The northern half of the state is solidly Midwestern, the upper southern quarter transition and the Southernmost quarter of the state is the South.
Why would you put a state that is pretty much smack dab in the middle of the country in the south?
Somewhere around the Nebraska/Colorado/Kansas corners is the middle of the country.... Southeast & Southwest Missouri are in the South both geographically and culturally.
Kansas City, Columbia, and most of the state doesn't feel Southern at all. Do you even travel?
It is a mixture of the South and Midwest for the most part, with areas south of I-70 being significantly more southern influenced overall compared to anywhere in the Midwest along and north of I-80.
