Scalawags and carpetbaggers are terms associated with?
They were both associated with the South after the Civil War, during the period known as "Reconstruction". After the South lost the war, the Republican Party dominated politics in the US during Reconstruction; the Democratic Party was largely associated with the South at the time (the parties have changed dramatically in the decades since the war ended), so it had thoroughly lost power."Scalawags" were Southerners who were Republicans; since most Southerners were Democrats at the time, this was seen as almost traitorous- ironic considering the South had just fought a war against the rest of the US. "Carpetbaggers" were mostly Republicans from the North who moved to the South after the war and got involved in politics there.Both terms were used mainly by Southerners against people they didn't like, and both were considered pejoratives. Another similar term is Copperhead- this referred to Northerners who were Democrats- as stated, the Democratic Party was associated with the South, so Northern Democrats were practically considered traitors.
