Missouri
From Turtledove
Missouri was the 24th state admitted to the United States. It was admitted as a slave-state, which proved pivotal in the country's later history. When the South seceded, Missouri voted to secede with it, but the loyalties of the people were split, and military conflict in the state prevented it from successfully joining the South.

Missouri's boundaries were expanded in 1917 when the northern area of the Confederate state of Arkansas was annexed at the end of the Great War by the victorious United States. Years later, this territory became a casus belli for the Second Great War.
Throughout its history, the population of Missouri was divided in its loyalties, with a sizable portion of the state having pro-Confederate sympathies. Rioting, sabotage , bushwaking and minor revolts broke out during the Second Mexican War, the Great War and the Second Great War. By the Second Great War Missouri still had some stubborn confederate sympathizers. C.S raiders would also frequently sneak up into Missouri from Arkansas.
