Solution

The correct option is E Carpetbaggers

White Southerners were opposed to Northerners who traveled south after the Civil War to work for racial justice or make money. They called these people carpetbaggers. Many of those northerners went South after the war for various reasons. Some went to help Blacks get an education or assist them in other ways. Some went because they saw opportunities to make a fast buck. They were almost universally scorned by Southerners.
