Answer:
A.) Carpetbagger
Explanation:
"Carpetbagger" was the term used to refer to natural citizens of northern states who moved to some southern state, after the secession war, during the southern construction. The aim of the Carpetbaggers was to use reconstruction and the disadvantaged people of the south to make money, or to gain political influence through several different activities. As you may already know, the southerners were very resentful to the northerners after the war, which made it difficult for the Carpetbaggers to achieve their goals, but they had help from the "Scalawags" or are white southerners who cooperated with the northerners throughout reconstruction.
