SCALAWAG was a post civil war, reconstruction era term of insult for a white southerner who supported reconstruction efforts. The word comes down through the English language with various meanings over time, such as "farm laborer", "disreputable fellow", "habitual jokster", and early definition uses it as "undersized or worthless animal".
