Scalawags were southern whites who supported Reconstruction and the Republican Party after the American Civil War. Samuel F. Phillips was perhaps the most famous scalawag.
The Reconstruction Era in the South had a different meaning than the Republican view, as the Republican Party created most of the reconstruction laws and policies. Their idea was to reform the old Confederacy and have it blend in, at whatever the cost with the rest of the Union. The Southern view saw reconstruction from a different point of view. To the "Old South", reconstruction meant that former slaves and other minorities would have equal rights with ones held by white people. This for them was not correct as they believed that Blacks were not equal to Whites. The idea of having Freed slaves take part in the governments of the southern states, allow them to vote and own farms was against the southern point of view.

Most Southern whites viewed the Reconstruction Era as a Union occupation of their territory. Wounds were slow to heal and whenever Southern white hate groups had the chance they burned down Black churches and their homes as well. The most frightening thing was when hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan kidnapped Blacks and hanged them. It was a horrible time.
