The Scalawags. Southern Dissenters in the Civil War and Reconstruction by Baggett, James Alex - 2005

USA: Wollaston Press, 2005. New/No Dust Jacket As Issued.

No Flaws or Blemishes; Gift Quality.. Using a collective biography approach, Baggett profiles 742 white southerners who supported Congressional Reconstruction and the Republican Party. He then compares and contrasts the scalawags with 666 redeemer-Democrats who opposed and eventually replaced them.

This is the first Southwide study of the scalawags, its scope and astounding wealth in quantity and quality of sources make it the definitive work on the subject.
