White Southerners resisted Reconstruction due to a strong desire to maintain their pre-war social order, which was based on white supremacy and the subjugation of African Americans. Many viewed Reconstruction policies as an infringement on their rights and an unwanted imposition by the federal government. Additionally, the economic hardships and social upheaval following the Civil War fueled resentment, leading to the rise of violent groups like the Ku Klux Klan that sought to restore white dominance and undermine the rights of newly freed slaves.

White southerners who supported Radical Reconstruction were often referred to as "scalawags." These individuals were typically native white southerners who aligned with the Republican Party and advocated for reforms, including civil rights for freedmen. Many scalawags saw Reconstruction as an opportunity to rebuild the South and improve its economy, while others sought to gain political power and influence in the post-war society. They faced significant backlash from more conservative white southerners who opposed these changes.
