Just another transplant to the south, If you think Missouri is the south. Limbaugh still lives in Florida, right? That would make him a transplant to the south. Rural Missouri was pretty "southern" when I lived there...racist, rednecky, backwards, et cetera. Haven't been there, except to a meeting or two in St. Louis in years. Of course you only make disparaging comments like this remotely from the safety of your room, alarm systems, guns and the computer or whatever you use to post. Would you say the same face to face to a native "rural Missouri" resident? Didn't think so. I not only said it, I wrote about it. For publication. So did others at the paper who were interested in helping rural Missouri come out of the post-Civil War stone age. Missouri was not a "southern state" in that war, but many then wanted it to be and acted as if it were. Mind you, I wasn't knocking the rural-agrarian mindset, which I appreciated and still do. Back then, the state was having a really difficult time attracting good professionals (doctors, lawyers, engineers, skilled workers, et cetera) outside of KCMO, St. Louis, and Columbia. 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. |

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. |

Maryland didn't outlaw slavery until very near the end of the war and enforcement was spotty down where Harry lives. |
