Carpetbaggers were Northerners who moved to the South during the Reconstruction period (1865-1877) after the Civil War. They were often businessmen, politicians, or teachers who sought economic opportunity and political influence in the South. Carpetbaggers had mixed motives, and while some were opportunists looking to make a quick buck, others sought to improve the lives of freed slaves. They were often met with hostility in the South, as there were negative connotations associated with the term.
