I say it's Midwest. It's the same latitude as Kansas and Illinois which are both considered Midwest. Also, during the Civil War it was cutoff from trading with the South and remained loyal to the Union.

By the looks of it, it looks like it is located on the Mid-East

By sheer location, it is in the Midwest. However, since I went to college and lived there for several years, I can tell you that a lot of Missouri seems like the stereotypical south. Even the Missouri Compromise made the state at odds with being a free state or a slave state.
I think the dividing line nowadays is Interstate 70, actually. That seems to separate "soda" (south) from "pop" (north), too. I-70 cuts through both St. Louis and Kansas City but, in my experience, St. Louis "seems" more southern.
