Carpetbaggers, Northern opportunists who moved to the South after the Civil War, significantly impacted the region's political and economic landscape during Reconstruction. They often took leadership roles in local governments, promoting policies aimed at civil rights and rebuilding the South, which sparked resentment among many Southern whites. Their involvement helped to facilitate educational and infrastructure improvements, but they were also viewed as exploitative, leading to deep-seated social tensions that persisted long after Reconstruction ended. Overall, carpetbaggers played a complex role in shaping the South's post-war recovery and its racial dynamics.
