meaning of the word, carpetbagger.
What is a carpetbagger?
A carpetbagger is a demeaning term for a politician who runs for office in an area they have no actual ties to.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/carpetbagger
Carpetbagger, in the United States, a derogatory term for an individual from the North who relocated to the South during the Reconstruction period (1865–77), following the American Civil War. The term was applied to Northern politicians and financial adventurers whom Southerners accused of coming to the South to use the newly enfranchised freedmen as a means of obtaining office or profit. Literally describing an unwelcome stranger with no more property than could be carried in a satchel (carpetbag), the epithet later came to refer to anyone perceived as an interloper who came to a region to exploit it against the wishes of the inhabitants.
