Carpetbaggers, often used pejoratively, was the term used for Northerners who came to the South to implement the policies of Reconstruction. They have been frequently accused of taking advantage of the political, economic and social upheaval in the South at that time.

Hoover created the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to provide low interest loans, and policies created by President Roosevelt included The New Deal.
White southerners who supported Reconstruction were referred to as "Scalawags", while northerners who came south to assist were called "Carpetbaggers,", an equally derisive term inferring they carried everything they owned in a carpetbag and could move quickly. Both groups traveled the South for their own personal economic gain.
Democrats blocked many federal reconstruction policies, and reversed many reforms of the reconstruction legislature. This voting block was known as the Solid South.

I'm not sure if there was ever an "official" reconstruction period. Generally, "Reconstruction" is applied to federal government policies applied to defeated Southern states as early as 1863. Historians generally agree that Reconstruction policies ended soon after the inauguration (following a razor-thin election) of Rutherford B. Hayes in 1877.
