Southern resentment towards carpetbaggers stemmed from the perception that these Northern opportunists were exploiting the region's post-Civil War instability for personal gain. Many southerners viewed them as outsiders who sought to profit from their misfortune, often engaging in corrupt practices or pushing for policies that were unfavorable to Southern interests. This led to a deep-seated animosity, as carpetbaggers were associated with the Reconstruction efforts that many in the South saw as punitive and intrusive. Overall, their presence was seen as a violation of local autonomy and an affront to Southern pride.

They were perceived as exploiting the region's instability for personal gain, often involved in politics, business, and land speculation. The term is derived from the carpet bags they were said to carry, symbolizing their transient and invasive presence in Southern society. It was often used pejoratively by Southern critics who viewed them as outsiders taking advantage of their misfortunes.
