In the history of the United States, a carpet-bagger was
a Northerner who moved to the South after the American
Civil War, during the Reconstruction era (1863–1877).
Many white Southerners denounced them fearing they
would loot and plunder the defeated South and be
politically allied with the Radical Republicans.
"Carpetbagger" was used by Southerners as a pejorative
term, referring to the carpet bags (a form of cheap
luggage made from carpet fabric) which many of these
newcomers carried. The term came to be associated with
opportunism and exploitation by outsiders.

In United States history, scalawags were southern whites
who supported Reconstruction and the Republican Party,
after the American Civil War. Like the similar term
"carpetbagger," the word has a long history of use as a
slur in Southern partisan debates. The opponents of the
scalawags claimed they were disloyal to traditional
values of their southern heritage.

Republicans
The Radical Republicans were a faction of American
politicians within the Republican Party of the United
States from around 1854 (before the American Civil War)
until the end of Reconstruction in 1877. Radicals strongly
opposed slavery during the war and after the war
distrusted ex-Confederates, demanding harsh policies for
punishing the former rebels, and emphasizing equality,
civil rights, and voting rights for the "freedmen" (recently
freed slaves). They supported the most radical plan for
Reconstruction, which included the immediate passage of
the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments and military
occupation of the South.
