In the South, scalawags were often welcomed by the Republican Party, particularly by those who sought to promote Reconstruction efforts and improve the rights of African Americans. Many scalawags were former Whigs or Unionists who aligned with the Republicans to support economic development, education, and social reform. They were welcomed by newly freed African Americans and other reform-minded individuals who shared their vision for a more inclusive society. However, scalawags often faced hostility from traditional Democrats and former Confederates who viewed them as traitors.
