Historically, Southerners who supported reconstruction were often called scalawags.
Southerners who saw an advantage to backing the Reconstruction of the South represented the majority of Southern Republicans. Much like the northerners who were against the Civil War (Copperheads), these southerners earned a derisive nickname. They were called "Scalawags".
A majority of Southerners were small farmers.
A scalawag was a term used during the Reconstruction era in the United States to describe Southern whites who supported the Republican Party and its policies of promoting civil rights and rebuilding the South after the Civil War. They were often seen as traitors by other Southerners who opposed Reconstruction.
