Carpetbaggers, often Northern transplants, came to the South during the Reconstruction era primarily for economic opportunities and to influence political change. They sought to invest in the region's recovery, capitalize on its resources, and often aimed to support the newly freed African American population by promoting civil rights and education. Their presence was often met with resentment from locals who viewed them as opportunists exploiting the South's post-war struggles. Ultimately, carpetbaggers played a complex role in shaping the socioeconomic and political landscape of the South during this tumultuous period.
