A derogatory label applied by white Southerners to Northerners who moved to the South between 1865 and 1877.
The term “carpetbagger” emerged in the United States during the Reconstruction era following the Civil War and was originally used as a derogatory label applied by white Southerners to Northerners who moved to the South between 1865 and 1877.
