Scalawags

"Scalawags" -- a term of reproach applied by the Democrats of the South to the Republicans, who were natives of that section -- was what Enna called her brother, his son-in-law and daughter, when out of hearing of her father, who though vexed at their notice of the Lelands, was too strongly attached to his only remaining son, and too sensible of the kindness he had received at the hands of Mr. Travilla and Elsie, to permit anything of that sort.

Certainly, because of the presence of the Reconstruction Republicans there was antagonism and political paybacks made moreso by appointing Carpetbaggers and Scalawags into office and electing others, which was a subject not broached, nor was no explaination given as to why - all of a sudden one bright sunshiny day did the white democrats wake up and began slaughtering and plotting.
