Yes, southern Missouri and Illinois are something like Upper (or Upland) 
South https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_South . Missouri was never 
really, as far as I'm aware, among that Progressive strain in the Upper 
Midwest which lost vigor but for which residual effects remain today. 
There is the typical urban-rural divide with the bigger cities being 
more cosmopolitan/less reactionary, just as occurs in the Deep South 
(say Atlanta or Raleigh-Durham, although immigration is major factor in 
those). St. Louis was a confluence point for people moving west, 
including the wealthy, as well as a major route for blacks moving to 
northern cities. Louisiana and Florida are other mixed cases in the 
southern US.
