It's a tough question going back to at least the civil war since it was a northern state and a frontier state but decided in favor of slavery.

I've lived in Missouri. It is both the south and the midwest depending where you are
But mostly the south
But mostly the south
I live 20-30 minutes from St. Louis. I'd say I'm in the midwest. If I drive 20 minutes further out, near my mom lives, it's pickup trucks and confederate flags. Missouri can be South or Midwest depending where you are in the state. I once saw a truck with a lift kit and some other things I couldn't identify, decked out on all sides with Hulk Hogan decals. I've seen another one with TRUMP in big red letters on both sides and an obnoxiously large American flag waving off an antenna or something.
Because of sports I used to think south. And then I went to St. Louis for the first time a couple of months ago...and the weather instantly made me change my mind to mid-west (plus someone I know from Kansas City always telling me Missouri is mid-west).
Northern Missouri isn't much further south respective to the geography of the country than New York City.
Must be rural north. KC is pretty much nothing like the rest of the state.
Draw a line from Cape Girardeau straight west across the state and everything south of there is definitely "The South".
Then it kinda transitions north of there so we'll call it "border area". I've never been to north Missouri but St Louis has folks with straight up northern accents similar to Chicago and some folks who have a more southern backwater accent. It's kind of an interesting area.
