What was the name that southerners who hated reconstruction?

Question

gave to southern whipe republicans?

Answer 1

Yes they were called carpetbaggers. Named for a cheaply made suitcase created out of an old carpet.

Carpetbaggers controlled the South after the American Civil War because they either bought up a lot of the land, for pennies on the dollar or they held political office. Part of the Reconstruction duties levied by Congress on the South were that past political officials could not hold office and before they could they had to swear an oath of allegiance to the US. So there were only a few southern politicians that could hold office. Many Northerners came south to become politicians and they cared more about lining their pockets then helping the South rebuild. A lot of the Southern Plantations owners were bankrupt, or had too much money invested in Confederate Dollars where no longer backed by any government. Some couldn't even pay their taxes. Their lands and estates went into bankruptcy letting the Northerner's buy up these properties cheaply. This is why the South hated the Republicans (the party in power during the Civil War).

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpetbaggers

The term is now used with less derogatory intent by historians and reference works. Since 1900 the term has been used to describe outsiders attempting to gain political office or economic advantage, especially in areas (thematically or geographically) to which they previously had no connection."
