Carpetbaggers and scalawags?

it is a time during the civil war that all the other people took other peoples things and did not think twice about it and didnt care who they hurt in the processe of doiing there crime full acts. Actually, this person is almost right, but he doesn't explain that much. The Carpetbaggers were northerners that came south after the civil war in a period called reconstruction and they bought property at fire-sale prices and sold it at regular price. The Southerners couldn't do anything about it because they had lost the war. The name "scalawag" was created for the carpetbaggers. Actually you are almost right. The term Scalawag was used to descibe southerners that agreed with what the Carpetbaggers did. That is the only problem that I saw in your explaination.

Who first coined the word carpetbagger?

Like scalawag and peckerwood, it is unknown who coined the post-Civil War term carpetbagger, but it came into common use and is still used occasionally. Some New Yorkers called Hilary Rodham-Clinton a carpetbagger when she ran for a US Senate seat in New York, which would make her something of a reverse carpetbagger.


What did a slave think of a carpetbagger?

Slaves may not have known (or just not cared) that the person was a carpetbagger. They just would vote for them because the carpetbagger was a republican (Abe Lincoln was a republican, so slaves kind of saw the whole party as being completely against slavery, which they mostly were). In other words, they were probably happy that they could support an anti-slavery politician, and the carpetbagger was probably happy that he was getting some political power.
