The liberty party was formed in 1840 by a group of abolitionists. It was created by two men, Arthur Tappan and Theodore Weld, in opposition to William Lloyd Garrison who believed that political action was a way to end slavery. The first party convention was in 1840. In 1844, the party influenced undecided legislators in many local elections to adopt antislavery stands. The party ended in 1848 when many of its members joined a group called the Barn burners.

Native white Southern politicians who joined the Republican party after the war and advocated the acceptance of and compliance with congressional Reconstruction were labeled scalawags. To most white Southerners, scalawags were an unprincipled group of traitorous opportunists who had deserted their countrymen and ingratiated themselves with the hated Radical Republicans for their own material gain. The devastation in the South after the war, coupled with the economic and social problems, created a need for progressive political action that the disenfranchised white population could not address.
