Some Southern whites saw an advantage in supporting the Republicans and the Reconstruction. They were referred to as scalawags.
The secret group that terrorized Southern whites and blacks during the Reconstruction era was the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). Founded in 1865, the Klan aimed to restore white supremacy and resist the changes brought about by Reconstruction, including the rights granted to formerly enslaved people. They used intimidation, violence, and murder against both Black individuals and white allies who supported Reconstruction efforts. The KKK's actions contributed significantly to the establishment of systemic racism and segregation in the South.

When them damned yanks came down and rubbed it in our faces.
As the Reconstruction era passed, Southern whites became back in control of the old South. They passed all types of "laws" designed to prevent Blacks form voting. This enabled whites to regain the political power they lost right after the US Civil War.
Ulysses S. Grant had the best reconstruction plan for the southern white people. The reconstruction era took place from 1865 to 1877.

Southern whites during Reconstruction generally reacted with hostility and suspicion towards the various groups of Northerners, including Carpetbaggers (Northerners who moved South for economic or political opportunities) and Scalawags (Southern whites who supported Reconstruction). Many viewed these groups as opportunists seeking to exploit the South's post-war vulnerabilities. This animosity often manifested in violence, discrimination, and the formation of organizations like the Ku Klux Klan, aimed at undermining Reconstruction efforts and restoring white supremacy. Overall, the presence of Northerners exacerbated tensions and resistance among Southern whites.
