You realize Missouri is a slave state?

Ok and? They never joined the confederacy, so the civil war is pretty irrelevant to this conversation

I’m sure you must’ve been dropped on your head. The civil war was about slavery, Missouri was a slavery state, hence they are pro slavery. The Mizzou fanbase endorse the bushwhackers, hence they are pro slavery. Dumbass

Missouri didn’t secede though, they didn’t fight on the side trying to defend slavery. They were on the side that ended slavery. Furthermore, Columbia was strongly pro-union. They’re called the Tigers because that was the name of the Union militia based there. If you think Mizzou means pro-slavery or pro-confederacy you’re just willfully ignorant at this point.

Missouri was pro-slavery, that’s not an opinion but a literal fact. Considering Missouri sent more men to fight for the confederacy than people who participated from Kansas overall, and the state was the closest of any border state to flipping to the union, you can’t just write off the confederacy-sympathies. You can’t just use pro-slavery imagery for the rivalry and then act oblivious about it, you either own it or you don’t

Cool, that doesn’t change the fact that Missouri was part of the Union. You’re the one who brought up the Civil War, so don’t get upset when people correct you over it.
