Just an FYI, Missouri was never in the Confederacy. It was a union state. Just a little help for when you take american history 101

and congrats on making your pick.

I'm aware, but most local governments in Missouri issued ordinances of secession at the outbreak of war. The population was overwhelmingly sympathetic to the CSA. The state never officially seceded because the state capital was taken over by the USA before a vote could be organized. In turn, the CSA "claimed" Missouri as their territory. There is a star on the National Flag of the Confederacy for Missouri.

Just a little help for when you take American History 102.

That’s funny since Missourians fought nearly 3:1 for the union and less than 5% were slave owners. Also Missouri had a star on both flags as the state was a middle ground for the war.(only the union star was by vote. there was never a motion passed to join the CSA) The overwhelming majority of the state was pro union but there were southern sympathizers (the minority). As was the case with Border States they had a split in population and saw the majority of battles. In fact Missouri wished to remain neutral and pro union in order to avoid the war altogether. That attitude lasted through 2 governors and remained until there was no other choice and at that time, for now the 3rd straight time MO sided with the union. There was no overwhelming sympathy to the CSA. The overwhelming majority wanted neutrality. As for Jefferson City being taken, that was by Lincolns hand in order to force enrolment of troops into service. Not because of a proposed vote of succession. Those that were greatly upset left and formed a new leadership government in southern MO, which by the way had no ruling power what so ever. That was the group recognized by the CSA. No doubt in an attempt to gather as much support as possible. In other words Manhattan it carried about as much weight as me appointing you my governor and leader of my New York and soon to be Iowa of the Fro daddy union of awesomeness.

By your 200 and 300 level classes you will really know your stuff

btw as a history buff who was born and raised in MO i know my state. THere was nothing more interesting to me than the history of our country and my home state.

Again congrats on making your college choice.

and boom goes the dynamite... :lol:

Yeah, it wasn't my family...we weren't over here then. I was just making a small joke. Fort Sumter, where the first battle took place, is pretty cool to visit though...

You should come on down. You have to take a ferry out to the fort.

Do you know how many lives were lost at Fort Sumter?

 

[fro daddy]

I dont know the overall numbers, but if i am remembering correctly wasnt it only like 1 or 2 during that first battle?

0...not even a horse...

 

[fro daddy]

i was thinking someone or ones got killed after the fighting by accident or something. :dunno

I will say this, I have been to SC for just a short 1 day stop over, but from everything I have seen and heard you have a beautiful state to live in and explore.

It is nice to have mountains and great beaches within a day trip. I'm in Columbia and I'm 2 hours from the mountains, 2 hours from the beach. Plus there's a lot of historical sites around the state. George Washington stayed at an inn in my hometown during the revolutionary war, just a lot of stuff like that.

Best of luck to you, it's seems like you've done a great job exploring your options. I am also a geography major. What type of emphasis are you going to have? GIS Systems, climatology, etc..?

At the moment, I am thinking the social/political/economic emphasis in geography. This is mostly because I think I will end up getting an MBA and think these types of studies will be useful in understanding what trends can shape international markets. I have always been a history nerd and geography has always been a strong point of mine. I think it would be easier to perform well in my undergraduate major if I like doing it and I am good at it. I am visiting Ohio State this Friday and I am taking a look at the business school there. Trying to see if there is any added value by going into the business school as an undergraduate and taking a business major instead of a geography major and then business school after.

You sound just like me. I plan on doing just about the same emphasis, but I might end up going more into areas of water management/conservation or climate/weather areas. I need to think of something quick though, because I'll be a junior this summer. :ahhhhhhhh
