THE southerners were the defeated ones. They were at the mercy of the federal government. The leaders all lost their vote . Blacks and carpetbaggers ruled. The old plantations could not make a living with hired labor and were broken up and sold for taxes. Secret organizations gained some power with terrorist tactics over the blacks. A new Democratic party formed and it gradually gained power, finally winning the presidency in 1884 after reconstruction ended.

Southerners who supported the Republican government during and after the Civil War were often referred to as "scalawags." This term was used pejoratively by their opponents to describe white Southerners who aligned with the Republican Party, particularly during the Reconstruction era. Scalawags believed in civil rights for freedmen and supported the policies of Reconstruction aimed at rebuilding the South and integrating formerly enslaved people into society.
