Missouri is the "Show-Me State." It is not an "official" state slogan but is widely used and is even on state license plates. The phrase's popularity is attributed to U.S. Congressman Willard Duncan Vandiver, who in 1899 said, "I come from a state that raises cotton and and cockleburs and Democrats, and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I am from Missouri. You have got to show me."
