They were called Scalawags
Scalawags were white Southerners who supported Reconstruction policies and efforts after the American Civil War ended in the United States.
Scalawags turned on their own kind and were labelled traitors to the South, working with Republicans for the same reasons as Carpetbaggers. Their goal was to gain personal financial gain or political power through political advancement. The Scalawags desired money or power.
The term's origin is unknown, but it has been used in the United States since at least the 1840s, first to refer to a worthless farm animal and then to a worthless person.
Scalawags joined Republican Reconstruction efforts in the South after the Civil War
