scalawag

In US history, a derogatory term for white Southerners who, during and after the Civil War 1861-65, supported the Republican Party, and black emancipation and enfranchisement.

The reforms instituted by the scalawags were widely resented in the South, and their influence diminished with the rise of the Democratic party in the South.
