Best Answer

Scalawags were Southerners who agreed to work with the Republican government of Andrew Johnson, which was unfriendly to the South.

Carpetbaggers were Northerners who came South to exploit the low wages - perfectly legal, but they were viewed as mean and unpleasant people.

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.
