Missouri supplied a total of 39 regiments to the Civil War effort: 17 Confederate and 22 Union. if there were more Union regiments, how can you say it is a Southern State? And if there were almost as many Confederate regiments as Union, how can you say it was a northern state? No one is saying there were no battles in Missouri, only that it was neither exclusively northern nor southern.
