The North did not gain much out of reconstruction. They did win the war and help to end slavery. However, reconstruction was not very successful and the north soon lost interest. This caused the south to regain control of their own states. While slavery was ended, African-Americans were still treated badly and held no rights.
Not many more rights were given to them. They now had the chance to work for someone and get paid for it. Their main benefits were in the North after reconstruction.
Southerners referred to Northerners who moved to the South after the Civil War and during Reconstruction as " carpetbaggers." This term was often used derogatorily, implying that these individuals were opportunists seeking to exploit the South's economic and political turmoil for their own gain. Carpetbaggers were often associated with the Republican Party and the efforts to implement Reconstruction policies.

The term "Carpet Bagger" was derived from the Northerners who came into the South after the Civil War during the Reconstruction era, believed to have come to the South for private profits. While "scalawag" was a negative term used against White Southerners by other White Southerners, stating they are in support of Reconstruction for private gain.
Scalawags were Southern whites who supported Reconstruction and the Republican Party after the Civil War, often viewed with disdain by their peers for collaborating with Northern politicians. Carpetbaggers were Northern transplants who moved to the South during Reconstruction, often perceived as opportunists seeking to exploit the region's post-war turmoil for political or economic gain. Both groups played significant roles in the Reconstruction era, contributing to the social and political changes in the South. Their presence was often met with hostility from those who opposed Reconstruction efforts.
Carpetbaggers were northerners who moved south for personal gain during the Civil War between the Union and the Confederate troops.
