The Citizenship rights for Southern whites and former slaves were key controversies during Reconstruction. The first part of my Documentary movie shows the Reconstruction. Many white Southerners deeply resented the Reconstruction governments and the role of blacks in them. They branded the few white Southerners active in those governments as scalawags and the Republican Northerners who came South to take part in Reconstruction as carpetbaggers. The Documentary movie includes a Play titling Scalawags vs. Carpetbaggers.
