I live on the border of Missouri and Kansas. While most of Missouri is Midwestern, the southern part is definitely southern. And while Kansas is Midwestern the western part of the state is well western. So what state to you is the most Midwestern?

    Culturally it is Southern and supported the South in the American Civil War. And you start to see some southern cuisine.

      Definitely a blurry line, being a border state. The American literary tradition also sometimes lumps Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in with other novels about the antebellum South, though both take place in Missouri.
