Final answer:

Scalawags were white southerners who supported Republican Reconstruction and allied with Northerners and African Americans post-Civil War.


Explanation:

Scalawags were white southerners who opposed secession and supported Republican Reconstruction during the post-Civil War era. They allied themselves with Northerners and African Americans to create a postwar South free from the control of the old Confederates. Many had humanitarian intentions and aimed to improve conditions for blacks, although not all attempts were viewed positively by all white Southerners.
