What type of people were described as scalawags during the Reconstruction Era?
In the United States, a Scalawag was a Southern white who joined the Republican party in the ex-Confederate South during Reconstruction. They formed a coalition with Freedmen (blacks who were former slaves) and Northern newcomers (called Carpetbaggers) to take control of their state and local governments. Two of the most prominent scalawags were General James Longstreet (Robert E. Lee's top general), and Joseph E. Brown, the wartime governor of Georgia. Those who had not supported the Confederacy were eligible to take the "ironclad oath," as required by the Reconstruction laws in 1867 to vote or hold office. In the 1870s, many switched from the Republican Party to the conservative-Democrat coalition, called the Redeemers, which defeated and replaced all the state Republican regimes by 1877.

Why did the Republican Congress disagree with President Andrew Johnson's reconstruction plan?
A major area of disagreement between Abraham Lincoln and the Radical Republicans was that Lincoln wanted to forgive and reintegrate the South back into the Union as painlessly and smoothly as possible while restricting the rights of freed slaves, whereas the Radical Republicans wanted to punish the South as harshly as possible and grant full citizenship rights to freed slaves. After Lincoln's assassination, the Radical Republicans went on to pass a string of laws that would grant voting rights to freedmen, restrict any whites associated with the Confederacy from holding public office, create the South's first public school system, and provide charitable institutions like hospitals and asylums.
What did radical republicans think of radical reconstruction?
The Southern States were to organise conventions which had to amend their own constitutions so as to conform them with the Constitution of the United States, including the incorporation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
