Freedmen, Scalawags, And Carpet-Baggers
Scalawags is the term used to refer to white Southerners who favored the Reconstruction instead of the south. The derogatory term later became more of a political name.
Scalawags were Southerners who agreed to work with the Republican government of Andrew Johnson, which was unfriendly to the South. Carpetbaggers were Northerners who came South to exploit the low wages - perfectly legal, but they were viewed as mean and unpleasant people.
They were called "Carpetbaggers" and, "Scalawags".

Scalawags, Southern whites who supported Reconstruction and the Republican Party, significantly influenced Southern governance by promoting policies that aimed to rebuild the South after the Civil War. They often aligned with African Americans and Northern Republicans to advocate for civil rights, public education, and economic reform. Their participation in government helped to undermine the traditional power structures dominated by former Confederates, fostering a more inclusive political environment. However, scalawags were often met with hostility from their peers, leading to a contentious political landscape during the Reconstruction era.
Southerners who supported the Republican party and were in favor of Reconstruction were known by the pejorative term "Scalawags" in the south. They were vilified by the pro-federation southern majority that considered "radical" notions like desegregation and integration degenerate "Northern" ideals.
