Reconstruction refers to the period in American history from 1865 to 1877 following the Civil War, during which the United States aimed to rebuild the South and integrate formerly enslaved people into society. It involved significant political, social, and economic changes, including the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments that granted freedom and civil rights to African Americans. However, Reconstruction faced significant resistance, leading to the rise of Jim Crow laws and systemic racism that would persist for decades. Ultimately, the period ended with the withdrawal of federal troops from the South, leading to the re-establishment of white supremacy in many areas.

Southerners referred to Northerners who moved to the South after the Civil War and during Reconstruction as " carpetbaggers." This term was often used derogatorily, implying that these individuals were opportunists seeking to exploit the South's economic and political turmoil for their own gain. Carpetbaggers were often associated with the Republican Party and the efforts to implement Reconstruction policies.
