Culturally clearly where the Midwest and South meet - depending on where you wanna draw the boundary. Mostly Southern probably if you look at the early settlement patterns.
Unlike Kentucky and West Virginia which are both Southern states that like Missouri had divided loyalties during the Civil War.
You could even say part of Illinois is in the South. Like the counties presently trying to secede from it and Cook County.
Ohio, Indiana, too. Parts. Certainly much of Oklahoma. Like Missouri it has a Little Dixie.
Linder mentioned that in also advocating for the extermination of Jews on a program hosted by an Israeli. Ironically, Linder looks more Jewish than he does. Someone told me a kind of Shimon Peres lookalike:
Should add that ethnic Germans can have a more Southern vibe in pockets. Playboy Playmate Buffy Tyler, a Texan. Her real surname is very German and she is from a German area of Texas.
Yes, Mark Twain, whose real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was indeed from an area known as "Little Dixie". He was born in Florida, Missouri, which was a part of the broader region known as Little Dixie, an area in Missouri that shared some cultural and economic similarities with the Southern United States.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Little Dixie in Missouri:
"Little Dixie" was a term used to describe a region of Missouri, particularly in the eastern part of the state, where there was a significant presence of slavery and a culture that resembled that of the Southern states.
Twain's Missouri Roots:
Samuel Clemens, who later became known as Mark Twain, was born in Florida, Missouri, in 1835, which was located within the Little Dixie region. His family later moved to Hannibal, another town on the Mississippi River that was also part of Little Dixie.
Cultural Significance:
The area's historical and cultural ties to the South, including its economic reliance on agriculture and the presence of slavery, influenced Twain's writing and perspectives. The Northwestern University notes that the Mark Twain birthplace museum acknowledges the family's slave-holding past, highlighting the historical context of Twain's upbringing in Little Dixie.

Mark Twain was of course a Confederate soldier.
Interesting it is actually more toward the northern part of the state:
