Carpetbaggers were Northern transplants who moved to the South during this time, often perceived as opportunists seeking to profit from the region's turmoil. Both groups played significant roles in the political landscape of the South during Reconstruction.
It seems some people are mixing up the Reformation and the Reconstruction. The Reformation occurred before the Reconstruction, and the Reconstruction after the conclusion of the Civil War. Whether or not the Reconstruction failed is a matter of opinion, though many say that it was the manifestation of Northern punishment of the South or that it was a noble intention but not carried out far enough. However, some also say that the Reconstruction was the best that could be expected at the time.
The main goal of Reconstruction was to reunite the northern and southern states after the American Civil War. In particular, its aim was to help the South be rebuilt upon its readmission to the Union.

A scalawag during the Reconstruction Era was typically a white Southerner who supported Reconstruction policies and the Republican Party, often collaborating with Northern newcomers known as "carpetbaggers." Scalawags were often motivated by economic interests, a desire for political power, or genuine support for civil rights for freed African Americans. They were often viewed with disdain by other white Southerners who opposed Reconstruction. Common examples of scalawags included small farmers and merchants who believed that Reconstruction could improve their economic situation.
The early end to military reconstruction in the post-Civil War United States was primarily supported by Southern Democrats and some Northern Republicans, known as "Liberal Republicans." These groups believed that the Reconstruction policies were too harsh and that it was time to restore home rule to the South.
