You cannot be serious...
"carpetbaggers were seen as insidious Northern outsiders with questionable objectives meddling in local politics, buying up plantations at fire-sale prices, taking advantage of poor Southerners and pushing their alien Northern ways on Southern politics."
To wit,
"questionable objectives."
Wow. That's equal to slavery...
I'm forced to disagree on this one...
