I guess the ~120,000 that fought for the North say "you're right RB10" then.

I noticed the same thing when I worked in Indiana and thought it was really weird, but IN is where the KKK was founded

Rural Ohio and Pennsylvania is littered with homes flying the rebel flag

It doesn't matter what state you're in, wherever you find meth you'll find confederate flags.

Sociologists laughingly refer to the middle of Pennsylvania as “Pennsyltucky”.

The wealthy areas around Philly & Pittsburgh pull Pennsylvania’s demographics up where it’s not noticed in the State stats.

I saw one in upstate New York when we were up for the Syracuse game. I couldn't stop laughing, I guarantee you EVERYBODY knows that guy.

Jesse James was from Missouri. They have some ties.

Missouri's just Arkansas without the Tyson chicken & Walmart money.

You've got some weird areas outside of STL (ex. Fetus,MO)

about an hour south of Kansas City,


What town were you in? I'm talking to a company about going to work for them and if hired, I would have to spend 4 weeks in Neosho, for orientation and training. I've gotten mixed reviews about the area.

Missouri was a border state. It was some rebel and some union. History aside, the state of Missouri is trashy as hell. That’s the only thing they have in common with other SEC states. They are Florida level trashy

Ignorance, redneckery, and culcha know no state lines or regional boundaries. Some places more than others, some places less than others. Upstate New York can be as ignorant as Dixie. But it does tend to happen more in poor urban and poor rural areas. It's about poverty, education, parenting, and lack of interest...always.

Missouri isn't considered the south by true southerners but was one of the 13 confederate states


I mean, I'd call Missouri southern. South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina were all the states that voted to join without much dissent--but other territories contributed in big ways: Maryland, Kentucky, Delaware, Missouri, and Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, and Chickasaw members of the "Five Civilized Tribes", New Mexico Territory, Arizona Territory, Indian Territory/Oklahoma, even Kansas.

If you know anything about the history of the Southern states economics this shouldn’t surprise you

Missouri and Indiana seem to have the most rebel flags imo.

Surprisingly, rural New York has more than their fair share.

There's not "might" about it.
