The Ku Klux Klan viewed scalawags—Southern whites who supported Reconstruction and aligned with the Republican Party—as traitors to their race and region. The Klan sought to undermine their influence through intimidation, violence, and terror, aiming to restore white supremacy and maintain control over Southern society. Scalawags were often targeted for their political beliefs and efforts to aid freed African Americans, leading to a climate of fear and repression during the Reconstruction era.
