Like scalawag and peckerwood, it is unknown who coined the post-Civil War term carpetbagger, but it came into common use and is still used occasionally. Some New Yorkers called Hilary Rodham-Clinton a carpetbagger when she ran for a US Senate seat in New York, which would make her something of a reverse carpetbagger.
