Most Southern whites viewed the Reconstruction Era as a Union occupation of their territory. Wounds were slow to heal and whenever Southern white hate groups had the chance they burned down Black churches and their homes as well. The most frightening thing was when hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan kidnapped Blacks and hanged them. It was a horrible time.

Honestly, the specifics depend on what time period you were referring to but in general from the US Civil War through the Civil Rights Movement, southern whites viewed the North as uneducated in the ways of the South, as getting involved in something they had no business tampering with and southerners thought northerners viewed themselves as superior over their southern brethren. In regards to minorities, many (but not all) Southerners viewed minorities as a lower life form, basically. Quite a lot of fear and misunderstanding played into that view as well because the whites didn't understand many of the customs of the minorities and vice versa. Ironically, many Southerners viewed themselves as superior over minorities, especially African-Americans.
a question of simple human values
The South lost almost as many men as did the Union, so they gained a respect for their foe's fighting ability.
The Reconstruction Era in the South had a different meaning than the Republican view, as the Republican Party created most of the reconstruction laws and policies. Their idea was to reform the old Confederacy and have it blend in, at whatever the cost with the rest of the Union. The Southern view saw reconstruction from a different point of view. To the "Old South", reconstruction meant that former slaves and other minorities would have equal rights with ones held by white people. This for them was not correct as they believed that Blacks were not equal to Whites. The idea of having Freed slaves take part in the governments of the southern states, allow them to vote and own farms was against the southern point of view.
Unfortunately, the view of Radical Republican prevailed in Reconstruction.
The reconstruction, sometimes referred to as the Reconstruction Period, was a space of roughly five years following the American Civil War during which the reconstruction of the Union took place. This was accomplished through the use of legislative power, and military might via the Military Reconstruction Act of 1867. Considering it was predominantly the white Northerners pushing the Act, the overall view of reconstruction was favorable. However, a large majority of Southern whites despised the idea, and resented the action. In spite of this, the newly freed slaves comprised an equally large portion of the Southern populous, and it was due in part to their pleas for citizenship that the reconstruction even took place. Thus, it could be said that the South itself was divided on the issue.
