reconstruction
Southerners generally reacted to the Reconstruction Act of 1867 with resistance and hostility. Many white Southerners viewed the act as an imposition of Northern power and a violation of their rights, leading to widespread anger and the formation of groups like the Ku Klux Klan to oppose Reconstruction efforts. Additionally, there was significant pushback against the political enfranchisement of formerly enslaved people, as many white Southerners sought to regain control over their states and maintain white supremacy. Overall, the act deepened divisions and fueled resentment in the South.

A "scalawag" is an American spelling of scallywag. It usually is used to define a mischievous child who although he is "bad" is not "evil". In America the term was applied to Southerners who worked with Northern Republicans during the reconstruction following the American Civil War.

Historically, Southerners who supported reconstruction were often called scalawags.
Black codes and for the southerners no more slavery due to the 13th amendmentThis question was answered by a 5th grader
Reconstruction was doomed from the start because southerners had to account for their terrible loss. This was in lives and their patrimony. The acceptance of any Reconstruction policy would have negated the cause for which they fought for and so many died. When Congress imposed a reconstruction policy that included even a small sense of black civil equality & black suffrage, most white southerners could & did not accept the legitimacy of governments that were elected. The white South was never more the "solid South" than in the period of Congressional Reconstruction. This was regretful, but the results speak for themselves.

The racial tensions were increased because of Reconstruction. Whites thought the Freedman's Bureau would give Blacks handouts and make them lazy. During Reconstruction Southerners created the Black codes as a way to stifle any progress that Blacks attempted to make.
The federal actions during the reconstruction era affected Southerners in the sense that all men were to be considered equal, and blacks were to be treated as equals before the law.

Many white Southerners opposed the new Reconstruction governments because they enforced the newly-bestowed rights of blacks. Many Southerners also felt that the governments were hostile and gouged h hmm d g v h
