Southerners hated carpetbaggers for one main reason: they profited from their misfortune. While the south was struggling with reconstruction, the carpetbaggers were milking the bad situation at the south's expense... Current challenges this notion by proclaiming that, because of reconstruction, the South was new and open land to explore for northerners who before were so opposed to slavery as to ever set foot in southern territory. The fact that they were making a quick buck... well they also have families to feed! If they make a living off of selling property from a "nation" which was currently under construction, then so be it. The southerners were simply pissy because they lost and slavery is abolished. As they continually see "carpetbaggers" and "scallawags" making a living off of what they feel is rightfully theirs, they are bound to be miffed.
