Answer:
The term carpetbagger was born in the United States in the nineteenth century, as a pejorative political denomination, and was originally applied after the Civil War, to the northerners who moved to the southern states, between 1865 and 1877.
The denomination derived from the term carpet bag, which was a cheap way to build a travel suitcase from a bad carpet. Initially, the term carried the connotation of appointing someone who emigrated to another State of the Union (especially to the South) only interested in obtaining a benefit in an abusive or illegal way, without the ultimate intention of establishing itself definitively in that region and harming the local population.
