Cape Girardeau is a town on the border with Illinois so it is not
exactly southern. Perhaps if you go south west towards Arkansas or
Oklahoma it might get a bit more southern.
Crikey. Thought you went to a fancy prep school. Missouri was a slave
state during the Civil War, if not a Southern state. Dred Scott was a
black slave in Missouri who was taken by his "owners" out of the state
and into the territory, which had been designated a free territory by
the Missouri Compromise. Scott was taken back to Missouri, where he
claimed he was now free because of his time in the territory, A state
court ruled against him, followed by a federal court, followed by the
Supreme Court. I had a college buddy from Cape Girardeau and visited
there several times. It had the mindset of an old Southern town.
They had slaves in PG county too, what's your point?
Neither were part of the confederacy.
And they were not freed by Lincoln’s proclamation.
