The term “carpetbaggers” refers to Northerners who moved to the South after the Civil War, during Reconstruction.

Answer:

The term carpetbagger was born in the United States in the nineteenth century, as a pejorative political denomination, and was originally applied after the Civil War, to the northerners who moved to the southern states, between 1865 and 1877.

The denomination derived from the term carpet bag, which was a cheap way to build a travel suitcase from a bad carpet. Initially, the term carried the connotation of appointing someone who emigrated to another State of the Union (especially to the South) only interested in obtaining a benefit in an abusive or illegal way, without the ultimate intention of establishing itself definitively in that region and harming the local population.

zzz [600]

Answer: The settlers were weakened by illness

Explanation:

Richard Frethorne was an indentured servant serving in the colony of Virginia during its earlier days. In a letter to his parent, he employed them to send for him or at least send him some provisions because conditions in the settlement were pitiful.

He mentioned how they lived in constant fear of Indians who they keep fighting with. He was worried that they were in grave danger though because the settlers were afflicted by sickness and some had already died thus weakening their number resulting in less resistance to the Indians.

Why didn't the federal local governments collect an excise tax on alcohol during prohibition
astraxan [27]

For decades prior to the Prohibition (i.e., the legal ban of alcoholic drinks) made possible by the Eighteen Amendment, different Christian churches and organizations had been objecting to the consumption of alcohol since they considered it as the source of most debauchery and moral decadence. Their goal was made clear to the federal government: alcohol should be completely banned in order to clean society up. An excise tax on alcohol would have been rejected by all the moralistic groups advocating for prohibition as a mild and ineffective measure
