This is great. I am glad this was posted. My family left Missouri in 1888 and became Sooners. But is a wonderful to understand how this state was formed.
I'm from Dexter, and I'd always heard that the reason we have a bootheel was because the man who owned most of the acreage in Dunklin and Pemiscot counties said there was no way he would put up with being in Arkansas, so they changed all the maps to suit him...he showed good sense...I get a kick outta hearin' her talk...don'know boutchu, but I say 'Mizzoura'...how do ya make an Arkansawyer's eyes sparkle? Shine a flashlight in their ear...
lets just agree to call it Misery to increase our potential for sardonic jokes. and its nether like netherworld, because ornery comes from the word ordinary.
So I'm glad that you are saying that them history books were all bull shit. Because I know that Indians were hear and people from all nations around the world with different languages were hear. Thank you!
wait! we had Buffalo in Missouri? whered they all go? get the mofos breeding again! Buffalo some of the most akwardly beutiful animals ever, their like mystical furry camel cows
Zachary Windsor right, alot folks I know in Missouri say, Miz Or ee like an oar you paddle with, my family is from here for generations and say it that way or Miz er ee like I do
@@SteveHolsten I get it. Thanks for the reply. I'm currently building a homestead for my family near Dora, though I'm from Chicago, I'm no city slicker..... I have a lot of respect for the people and preserved history of the Ozarks. Reminds me of the stories my grandfather tells about sharecropping in Mississippi. I want my children to grow up understanding honest hard work.

As a lifelong Missourian, I pronounce it Mizz-oo-ree. I, personally, don't care how you pronounce it.
Mizzourah strong!
Amen!
Damn this is tight
The Etymology of the word Missouri is: Land of the Large Canoes/ or people of the big canoes.
I jokingly pronounce it Mis er y

I don’t have an accent so it’s MissourE. lol
mo show me
You can't pronouce an i with the a sound. It doesn't work. If it was supposed to be pronounced with the a then it should be spelled that way.
They were still saying Negro in 1989? Lol
We still do here in the Missouri Bootheel in 2020
@@SteveHolsten is that just part of a preserved culture, or is it a dislike of the people? I'm interested in knowing. No judgement here.
@@blackhavenranch7293 It's just preserved culture & not meant in a bad way!
