A "carpetbagger" originally referred to a Northerner who moved to the South during the Reconstruction era to profit from the region's instability. In modern usage, it describes someone perceived as an outsider who seeks to capitalize on a situation or community for personal gain, often without genuine connection or commitment to the area. The term can also imply opportunism in politics, where individuals seek office in places where they have little or no local ties.
