Civil War Q: Rule or Ruin?

What does the term “Rule or ruin” mean?

I saw this term as I was looking at a political cartoon on the Civil War. A “carpetbagger” was standing next to a piece of paper that said “rule or ruin.” What does this mean?

Just that – that the north would rule over the south or ruin it.
