Northern white Republicans were called â??carpetbaggers", which refers to a traveler who arrives in a new region with a carpetbag of possessions, and who attempts to profit from or gain control over his new surroundings, often against the will or consent of the original inhabitants. Southern white Republicans were called â??scalawagsâ??, and were viewed as traitors to the South.
