The group of Southerners who were often hated more than carpetbaggers were the "scalawags." Scalawags were white Southerners who supported Reconstruction and aligned themselves with the Republican Party, often seen as traitors to their region. Their collaboration with Northern politicians and support for policies that promoted civil rights for freedmen made them deeply unpopular among many Southern whites, who viewed them as opportunists seeking personal gain.
