Answer:

Carpetbagger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carpetbagger refers to a group of people who moved to the southern states after the Civil War in the hope of new opportunities. The name is attributed to them because they came only with satchel or carpetbag. They aimed to lease plantations, to buy land and to lease plantations or making a profit from cotton trade with the help of southern planters. And southerners found these northerners helpful to reconstruct the South economy.
