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.
