scalawags

scalawags
Estadounidenses sureños que apoyaron la Reconstrucción.

Los opositores de esta también aplicaron el peyorativo término a quienes se unieron con los carpetbaggers (políticos oportunistas del Norte) y los esclavos libertos para apoyar las políticas del Partido Republicano. El vocablo, cuyo origen se desconoce, se usó a partir de la década de 1840 para denotar un animal doméstico sin ningún valor y, más adelante, a una persona despreciable. Los scalawags eran ex whigs y campesinos serranos simpatizantes de la Unión, y constituían casi 20% del electorado blanco después de la guerra de Secesión. Muchos ocuparon cargos públicos en el Sur y promovieron reformas moderadas.
