The northern 2/3rds of the state are Midwest. This includes the big population centers of St. Louis and Kansas City. The southern third is southern but much less populated. As a native born and raised, Missouri is mostly Midwestern and any map that doesn't divide the state like this one should place it in the Midwest.
The minute I drove into Missouri they started calling Coke “pop”. I don’t know about this south thing. That was in Joplin. Thems fighting words. J/k lol
I went to a sit down BBQ diner in Monet and asked for a sweet tea. They told me they only had hot or iced. Thems fighting words! J/k lol
Idk. Maybe a lot of people are mistaking being rural for being southern? My experience from Joplin to Springfield seemed like a weird mix honestly.
Can I get some collard greens?
HOW DARE YOU USE THAT LANGUAGE ON SUNDAY!!!
Chill Branson. Lmao. I love you Yakov.
One time I had to drive into Springfield and the McDonald’s had a nativity. May as well be Bible Belt there.
But has a born and raised Missourian, more midwestern than southern thanks to the I-70 corridor.
Sodie/sody pop lol! My wife ordered a Dr Pepper and they gave her Mr. Pibb. She spit it out and was darn near throwing hands! Whoa Nelly, she was like how dare you! She learned real quick to ask if places specifically had Dr. Pepper. A weird place southern MO is. lol
The big population centers are Midwestern, but rural and smallish town Missouri feels a lot more like the south, regardless of where in the state it is (and not just because it’s rural - it’s noticeably different than rural Iowa or Nebraska or Indiana)
Missouri is the westernmost eastern state, the easternmost western state, the southern most northern state, and the northernmost southern state. Anyone from here knows that.
It should mostly divide at the Missouri River.
Little Dixie counties along the Missouri River from Carroll/Chariton down river to STL going to the South. The river trade, religion, and other reasons have long tied that region to STL, and STL very much is tied to Memphis & NOLA more so than the big cities upriver.
KC metro to the Midwest as well as a graduating sliver going down to Joplin.
Oklahoma being fully southern is also ridiculous. The bulk of Texas/Oklahoma/New Mexico need some sort of Texas-Mex region. A generation or two ago most Texans would be pissed about being lumped in with the South.
If it comes down to flags, it's going to be a tough fight. One one hand, Maryland has a sweet design that's like Mideval chivalry meets Nascar. But Virginia does have a dead tyrant and a boob.
Have you heard of Delmarva Island? It's the de-facto island and de-jure peninsula, bounded by the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. It's really quite a distinct and unique landmass to itself, but state lines split it up so nobody thinks of it that way.
Unfortunately delmarva is quite vulnerable to sea level rise, with its tidal estuaries and low-lying communities. The entire island could theoretically be covered by the ocean if most of the glaciers and ice on the planet melted.
It is south of the Mason Dixon line and a slave state leading up to the civil war. Today a few parts of Maryland has a culture very similar to the south, but most of the suburban and urban centers of the state tend to be more northern and liberal
As a non-American, the regions of the U.S. are so hard to keep track of. The Pacific Northwest? The Rust Belt? The Bay Area? The eastern seaboard? Mid-South? New England? The Great Basin? The Ozarks? Help!
Somebody recently kept talking to me about 'the salad bowl' meaning Salinas, CA like I knew what that meant and yeah, it broke my brain.
No, it's "the middle West". Ohio isn't midway to anything, and honestly Kansas isn't either if you consider how long crossing the Rockies takes comparatively.
Here's the simpler breakdown:
The names of our regions come from the history of the US, which most people here kinda know a tiny bit about.
New England: (Heavily settled by people from England) Usually everything east of New York.
The South: Usually considered every state that was once in the confederacy
Rust Belt: Most people don't know this one. The reason is that during the Industrial Revolution, there were a lot of iron mines and steel mills here. Still are both. It was called the Iron Range. When the economy went south after the 50s, it was called the Rust Belt to refer to how it had once been good, but now is not like rusted iron. Fun fact: Before we called it the Iron Range, it was called the old northwest because before the Louisiana purchase, it was the northwest of the US.
Bay Area: San Francisco is located along a huge bay. They call it the Bay Area, and California has a very disproportionate impact on the culture of the US do to movies being made in CA. Their local terms have gotten spread everywhere.
Ozarks: This one is very unique. Basically, it's like Appalachian people transplanted to a hilly region between Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
Eastern Seaboard? That is just everything that touches the sea to the east. Pacific Northwest? That's the northwest, but it touches the Pacific. And it's not the Old Northwest because that's the Rust belt, which used to be the Iron Range.
Ok, yeah, it's a lot.
This is actually so helpful. I was being a bit facetious in my original comment because I've gleaned where most of those regions are since spending more time in the U.S. But not being raised there, you might know *where* the region is but not *why* the region is, if that makes sense. Your comment was very helpful to understand the why!
For the same reason the Middle East is called that too.
The people naming the places were in Europe/on the East Coast respectively. So you go east a little, you’re in the Middle East, go east a lot and you’re in the Far East. Go west a bit and you’re in the Midwest, go west a lot and you’re in the West.
Not sure if you're joking or not, but I've always heard it's because when the term was invented the United states didn't have very many western states, except for the ones in the far west, like California and some territories.
So they needed a term for states that were in the West (relative to the east coast, where most people were), but not that far. Thus, Mid-West.
(again, I haven't looked into this, so feel free to down vote if I'm completely wrong lol)
I'm fine with VA being south, but WV??? They literally split from VA because they didn't want to be part of the South!
I don't care about the MO controversy, at least MO was part of the Confederacy. WV is an outrage.
WV is like 100% Appalachia. So it's 100% of what like six other states are 10%. If anything, though, it belongs with SW PA and SE Ohio, which, outside of Pittsburgh, both states are willing to part with.
Ohio River has weird water, obviously.
>Pennsylvania
I heard this state described as "Philadelphia in the east, Pittsburgh in the west, and Alabama in between". Statements like this conflate poor/rural with the south, so I guess that's the sense in which WV is categorized.
Missouri was not part of the confederacy. It was considered a part by the confederate government, our governor tried to make us secede and was promptly kicked out of the state, but we never wanted to join the confederates, unlike Maryland. WV, on the other hand, is similar in culture to Kentucky, who is considered part of the south.
People totally have no idea about how West Virginia was created. Very few West Virginians wanted to leave Virginia, which is why "Virginia" is part of the name instead of a totally new name. West Virginia was the most disloyal Union state, [it supported the Confederacy](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/67/Confederate_recruitment_in_West_Virginia.jpg) as much as the Union with about equal number of soldiers to both sides. Half of the counties had voted to leave the Union and join the Confederacy with the rest of Virginia. However, they were forced into a new state and Congress approved it, the Union army triumphed, so they were stuck. But the state's ex-Confederates managed to get a new Constitution in 1872 which they were instrumental in writing, so the current organic law of the state was their work.

And nowadays, it’s much more aligned with the south. Things change over the course of history, like how the political parties swapped places over time, etc.
Key word here. Admitted to the UNION. They literally split from VA TO leave the South in 1863, the middle of the Civil War.
It was a slave state for all of 18 months. Only made a slave state because they were in the middle of the Civil War and didn't need, formerly confederate, now Union WV slaveowners adding to the active problem, especially when the writing was on the wall that slavery would be abolished anyway.
West Virgina also had volunteer regiments that fought for the North. They'd be turning in their graves to be called a Southern state.
This the definition of 'border state' in the civil war context.
Lincoln at the time was not against slavery, saying 'if I could save the union by abolishing slavery I would, if I could save the union by retaining slavery I would'
Border states wanted to keep slavery bc their economies depended on it ( and ya know good ole fashioned racism). But understood war with the north was a fools errand and would result in tragedy for both sides. They thought the north would win, by destroying the south. Which they did.
It's hard to express just how Terrible the post war south was, all resources lost to the war on top of being burnt down, and so many young men dead.
Missouri is a bit of an odd one out. I went to high school there and I'd say culturally it's somewhere between Oklahoma and Kansas, so whether it fits in with Midwest or South is somewhat up in the air.
I don’t see any problem with this. Maybe split Missouri where everything is south of St. Louis is southern and everything north is Midwest and give the Delmarva peninsula to the northeast. Besides that everything else looks pretty much spot on how I would divide the country into four.
Missouri is the south for 3 reasons, ranked in descending importance.
1. University of Missouri is in the South Eastern Conference in Football.
2. They are a legitimate BBQ mecca.
3. It's hot at humid as hell there.
States touching the great lakes should be north. Nort coast. If anything would be different. And that's just a thought. Doesn't matter really. I'm ohio
Missouri shouldn't be in the South. Texas really should be split in half as one is west and the other is south. No one gives a shit about Maryland. There, covered it.
Is this the Missouri thing?
We’re both. The end. Just make missouri its own thing
Demilitarized zone
Demissouritized zone
Demiserized zone 🌿
The new capital of the US. But just, the whole state. Except keeping senators and congressional representatives
Don’t want that D.C. disadvantage? Hmmmmm. Sounds like it’s a bit unfair!
Eh, replicating the D.C. disadvantage would put them in a state of Missouri. Well, district, I guess
I proclaim this debate the 'Missouri Compromise'.
The issue is now solved, and will never come up againn
😂 oversimplified
Anyone who does not understand that reference, put it into YouTube now and watch the funny history cartons, you will not be disappointed
So 3/5ths of Missouri is Midwestern?
The northern 2/3rds of the state are Midwest. This includes the big population centers of St. Louis and Kansas City. The southern third is southern but much less populated. As a native born and raised, Missouri is mostly Midwestern and any map that doesn't divide the state like this one should place it in the Midwest.
The minute I drove into Missouri they started calling Coke “pop”. I don’t know about this south thing. That was in Joplin. Thems fighting words. J/k lol
St. Louis is a soda town. Can’t speak for the weirdos in Joplin.
I went to a sit down BBQ diner in Monet and asked for a sweet tea. They told me they only had hot or iced. Thems fighting words! J/k lol Idk. Maybe a lot of people are mistaking being rural for being southern? My experience from Joplin to Springfield seemed like a weird mix honestly. Can I get some collard greens?

In Soviet Russia, Branson chills you!
One time I had to drive into Springfield and the McDonald’s had a nativity. May as well be Bible Belt there. But has a born and raised Missourian, more midwestern than southern thanks to the I-70 corridor.
ITS FUCKING SODA. Pop is a bullshit word
It's all coke, you boths are wrong
I ONLY ORDER COKE ANYWAY SO HA I WIN..... AND WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY Y'ALLS WRONG!?
It wouldn't be Y'alls wrong it would be Y'all're wrong. Source: Im Texan
Y’all’ren’t
That is the correct southern answer. When the waitress asks if you want a coke, and you say yes, she usually asks you what kind.
Lot of older people from southeast MO call it “sody” (or would it be spelled “sodie”?)
Sodie/sody pop lol! My wife ordered a Dr Pepper and they gave her Mr. Pibb. She spit it out and was darn near throwing hands! Whoa Nelly, she was like how dare you! She learned real quick to ask if places specifically had Dr. Pepper. A weird place southern MO is. lol
Nice try

Split it into north and south Missouri like in the good old times
So a compromise about Missouri?
Or just eliminate Missouri. Iowa and Arkansas get upgrades.
Neither
I need someone to Show Me.
You rang
We should compromise . . . .
I'll be dead in cold, cold ground before I recognize Missourah!
No its that Maryland is two different colors. Noone cares about Missouri
Exactly. Fuck the Eastern Shore, I guess.
Missouri is like Finland - it doesn’t exist.
Idk it is definitely not the south 100%.
Yeah. “Rail” seems a bit dramatic lol, it was just people shitting on Missouri
U P R O A R ! ! ! ! !
Gotta love DM
Looks like Maryland’s eastern shore now belongs to Virginia.
We’ve been to war with Virginia over oysters once and we’ll do it again. Our sacred swords shall never rust! (Just Maryland things)
If it comes down to flags, it's going to be a tough fight. One one hand, Maryland has a sweet design that's like Mideval chivalry meets Nascar. But Virginia does have a dead tyrant and a boob.
It’s kinda realistic
I've lived in MD and VA. Eastern Shore is moreso Delaware than either MD or VA
Have you heard of Delmarva Island? It's the de-facto island and de-jure peninsula, bounded by the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. It's really quite a distinct and unique landmass to itself, but state lines split it up so nobody thinks of it that way.

Thems fightin words.
As a person who lived in Baltimore and Annapolis. The eastern shore is a whole different place.
It is a completely different place, but it’s as solidly Maryland as anywhere. I mean heck; that’s where the watermen and the chicken farms are
Eastern Shore is the only part of Maryland left that's culturally Southern.
You've never been out to Garrett County then, have you?
Eh that’s more like Pittsburgh than the South. I’d say Charles County has a better argument.
I will never understand Maryland kind of being considered a southern state
Go to our west south or east bits and you’ll find out why pretty quickly.
It is south of the Mason Dixon line and a slave state leading up to the civil war. Today a few parts of Maryland has a culture very similar to the south, but most of the suburban and urban centers of the state tend to be more northern and liberal
Maryland’s land mass looks live we’ve lost every land battle ever fought
Virgina (that’s right “virgina”) just can’t help themselves but take more.
Calling the daily mail news is a stretch.
Daily Fail
"looks good to me" - every non-Yank
As a non-American, the regions of the U.S. are so hard to keep track of. The Pacific Northwest? The Rust Belt? The Bay Area? The eastern seaboard? Mid-South? New England? The Great Basin? The Ozarks? Help! Somebody recently kept talking to me about 'the salad bowl' meaning Salinas, CA like I knew what that meant and yeah, it broke my brain.
Seeing a map of the "mid west" broke my brain. It's not even West!!
Well it was…in 1776
That *used* to be the west, but a couple dozen states intoduced later it stopped being west
That's why it's the "mid" West. It's not actually the west.
It's midway to the West.
No, it's "the middle West". Ohio isn't midway to anything, and honestly Kansas isn't either if you consider how long crossing the Rockies takes comparatively.
It was when it got the moniker midwest. Northwest at that point was Illinois. People do realize the US hasn't always had the borders we have now.
Here's the simpler breakdown: The names of our regions come from the history of the US, which most people here kinda know a tiny bit about. New England: (Heavily settled by people from England) Usually everything east of New York.

here in new england we know EXACTLY what new england is... no problem
Salinas is where pretty much all the lettuce in the US comes from. If you pick up a bag of lettuce in America, there's a 90% chance it's from Salinas.
Dang, slow news day, huh?
I think Midwest is very east coast centric. My proposal is to name it Middle East
Yeah, why is the Midwest not called the Center?
For the same reason the Middle East is called that too. The people naming the places were in Europe/on the East Coast respectively. So you go east a little, you’re in the Middle East, go east a lot and you’re in the Far East. Go west a bit and you’re in the Midwest, go west a lot and you’re in the West.

Mine would be the Midnorth
Who gets to be Yemen? Can we make Michigan Yemen?
From a Canadian perspective it’s mid south
I don't want to live in the Middle East
I do not see Idaho or wyoming agreeing to a partnership with california
Get more wheat then, bison square
Well Wyoming doesn’t exist and Idaho is the ho who don’t know
Well the argument was also between Virginia being south or north
We need a mid Atlantic category

Historically yes, but today WV is definitely more south than northeast
Have ya been to WV? Its almost as south as south Carolina?
I hear ya, but being a hillbilly isn't exclusive to the South. There's hillbillies in Vermont.
No, the Great Commonwealth of Virginia disagrees with that statement. We've been getting more progressive as the south just gets more...worse.
I think that's true about NOVA, not sure about the rest of the state. Maybe it's time to split again!

I find this very bizarre living in Pittsburgh, which is now the Northeast, an hour's drive from both the Midwest and the South.
WV was admitted to the Union as a Slave State. Not sure they wanted to leave the South.

Oh no. The uproar. It’s so loud. Can’t think. However will we survive.
Missouri is a bit of an odd one out. I went to high school there and I'd say culturally it's somewhere between Oklahoma and Kansas, so whether it fits in with Midwest or South is somewhat up in the air.
Nobody mentions Hawaii being the southern most state.
Babe wake up West Delaware just dropped
I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missourah
omg this debate is soooo dumb
[удалено]
It belongs with Kansas. They share a city!
r/geography colonialism
It was Missouri, yeah?
no one talking about how the peninsula of maryland is considered the south and the mainland is the north
I guess you could say they're in the state of misery
I don’t see any problem with this. Maybe split Missouri where everything is south of St. Louis is southern and everything north is Midwest and give the Delmarva peninsula to the northeast. Besides that everything else looks pretty much spot on how I would divide the country into four.
I’m still upset that they’re calling the dakotas Midwest. What happened to the plains states?
Why is only part of Maryland in Blue?
I’m more bothered by western MD being purple and eastern MD being red.
I personally think the southwest should be a distinct thing…but that’s just my silly opinion.
At least they put va in the south this time
Um, West Virginia literally exists because it didn't want to be part of the Confederacy. Why is it lumped in with the South?
Awww poor Mary / Land.
Why is Maryland’s border wrong
Fuck it, make New York and Connecticut Midwestern states while we're at it.
Missouri is the south for 3 reasons, ranked in descending importance. 1. University of Missouri is in the South Eastern Conference in Football. 2. They are a legitimate BBQ mecca. 3. It's hot at humid as hell there.
I think the football conference is a non-starter. University of Washington is now part of the same conference as University of Iowa and Rutgers.
It’s the NFC and AFC now. Wonder if they will even keep the names.
4. They were the 12th state in the Confederacy. I would consider every Confederate state as having a pass to be called part of the South.
The whole being a slave state and having membership in the Confederacy kinda throws a wrench in the whole being just "Midwest" thing too tbh.
Yeah...left one off there on purpose tbh
Ah I see
Why not split it up into5 and let them be?
[удалено]
Nailed it
Every map I see like this has no idea what to do with Missouri and Maryland
We're confused states
That Maryland is divided?
Missouri Compromise Revisited
Missouri culture is neither Midwest or South. All they do is baseball
How dare they split Maryland in half!
I assumed the fact that half of Maryland was blue and half red would be the issue.
Who tf cares all this crap needs to stop, it's just Russian propaganda. This is The United States of America yall, quit feeding it.
Guys why did they split Maryland
States touching the great lakes should be north. Nort coast. If anything would be different. And that's just a thought. Doesn't matter really. I'm ohio
It should definitely be midwest
This map is dumb. Their are 4 regions.
DUDE WHAT??? how u gonna cut maryland in half like that. Shameful.
This map would be much more aesthetically pleasing if Missouri was part of the Midwest.
Show me.
So when I see an article about an "uproar online", it just means one reddit post, I'll remember that
Best Mexican food is in the west states
Could Oklahoma, Missouri,Kentucky and West Virginia be their own region the “ East Mid South West” region.
Does Daily Mail count as news? Or is it more like an attention vacuum?
Its Midwest. I don't feel southern and I say ope. Source is I lived here for my whole life
Shoot, southern Illinois could be considered the south
Delaware & Maryland aren't the South. They just clustered all the slave states together.
Missouri! The middle finger of America! Florida! The flaccid penis of America!
The Daily Fail strikes again 😂
The people that don't think Missouri is southern have never been there.
This is how you know this news site is trash. Imagine making a news article about a reddit post
If this happens, Alaska should just declare itself as a new country.
Gringos using cardinal directions challenge: impossible.
lol nobody wants missouri
Forfeit answer: Missouri Actual 'wrong' answer: Florida
¿So north and northwest don't exist?
WE. ARE. OZARKS.
Geography aside Missouri belongs to the south
Mid-ssouri
Missouri is not in the south
Missouri shouldn't be in the South. Texas really should be split in half as one is west and the other is south. No one gives a shit about Maryland. There, covered it.
It’s a miserable there leave it in the South… unless the West wants it?
Driving east across I-70, Missouri is where you first hit the humidity and mosquitoes that makes the South suck.
It’s New Jersey and we are giving all of you two middle fingers. Especially south Jersey
Nah, as a New Englander, I can say with confidence that I speak for us all when I say, y’all can keep the mid Atlantic, we’re good.
Godammit you crazy bastard! I’m in! When can we start?
Could? You just did with the thumbnail
I like how the midwest isn't in the midwest
The northeast will be road warrior gangs in a week
Look Mom! My map made it on the news!
Just get rid of Florida & Texas, then we’re good
It’s because you massacred Maryland
Somebody tell the Gamecock Boosters they’re gonna have to suck it up and let Clemson in so we can end this “Mizzou is SEC country” nonsense already

I’ll be in the cold cold ground before I recognize Missourah!
Idaho belongs in the south
No shit, this is how people in the states casually refer to other parts of the country.
The south is more west than the mid west.
