Missouri is allowing a KKK member to run for governor. Guess which party he is a member of?

Missouri is not the south​

Missouri is in the Midwest.

Missouri compromise of 1820

Not comparable.


* Missouri was a slave state, California was a free state

* Lincoln won California with Southern candidates splitting 36% of the vote. Lincoln only managed 10% in Missouri with Southern candidates pulling 54% of the vote.

* Missouri's governor wanted to join the Confederacy, California's governor wanted to join the Union.

* After war was declared, 110,000 Missouri men joined the Union Army and 40,000 joined the Confederacy. 17,000 California men joined the Union Army and 250 joined the Confederacy.



Trying to claim that any ambiguity in early California was even close to that in Missouri isn't being honest.

They are comparable which is why I pointed out the nuance of States like Tennessee and North Carolina. Both States were Southern States, but they had heavy Northern leanings. They were the last two State to secede from the Union and the first two States to rejoin the Union. Tennessee and North Carolina also provided spies to help the Union. Ne one thinks that North Carolina and Tennessee were Northern. They both were clearly Southern States.

Here is another few tricky points about Tennessee that people gloss over in history. Tennessee freed its slaves even before the Civil War ended. It gave Black people the right to vote and bring law suits without even being forced to. Tennessee was also never occupied by Federal troops during Reconstruction. Tennessee is no less Southern because it did all of those things without Federal intervention.

Early political career[edit]​

Prior to entering politics, Northam voted for Republican George W. Bush in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections, a fact that opponents raised in later Democratic primaries.[28][29] Northam says that he was apolitical at the time and regretted those votes,[29] saying: "Politically, there was no question, I was underinformed."[20]

 

[Let A Fro Be A Fro]

Former American Nazi Party leader Authur Jones has ran for Congress as a Republican multiple times in the great southern state of Illinois. Here he is in 2018. He is NOT shy about his actual views.



He lost the election to his Democratic opponent, but he garnered almost 58,000 votes(over 25%)

Missouri

One of those primitive states you know to avoid at all costs

 

[Yinny]

In his lawsuit against the ADL, McClanahan described himself as a “Pro-White man.” McClanahan wrote that he is not a member of the Ku Klux Klan; he said received an honorary one-year membership. And he said he attended a “private religious Christian Identity Cross lighting ceremony falsely described as a cross burning.”

Lmao

Missouri might as well be Mississippi to me.

Missouri is an ambiguous state, it has aspects of the South and the Midwest both. There are parts of the state that are further south than anywhere in Virginia, and the town of Steele, Missouri is further south than Nashville, Tennessee or even parts of North Carolina.

Missouri was a slave state before the Civil War. The Dred Scott decision that affirmed the non-citizenship of slaves was based from St. Louis. Only 10% of Missouri voters picked Abraham Lincoln. Their governor wanted to join the Confederate South, not the Union, but they held a convention and the majority of delegates voted to stay in the Union. About 110,000 Missouri men fought for the Union Army, but another 40,000 left to fight for the Confederates.

Parts of Missouri certainly feel very Midwest, but there is a clear Southern influence to much of the state as well.

Only reason Missouri didn’t join the southern confederacy just before the war is Because many recent German immigrants opposed slavery off GP, and they made up a large part of the St.Louis area delegates in the 1861 Missouri convention, so they voted to remain in the union. In the 1850s and 1860s, German immigrants were a huge percentage of Missouri population. Abolitionist/anti slavery sentiment in the state came from them.

Why bother to talk about this shyt @Born2BKing if youre only going to focus on one side and not the entire picture?
