Scalawags were Southerners who joined with former slaves to support the Republicans party during Reconstruction after the Civil War.

Carpetbaggers were Northerners who went to the South after the Civil War for political or financial advantage.

Both supported black rights, were disliked by many white former-slave owners, and they were victims of attacks from the Ku Klux Klan

The main similarity between a scalawag and a carpetbagger is that, they were groups of people who arose after the American Civil War. Both the groups supported the rights of the black people which made them enemies of the white racists including the KKK. This two groups were concentrated in the Southern states of USA.
