Pigroach said that the term "carpetbagger" originates from the concept of a looter who goes into your war-damaged home and steals all your belongings by stuffing them into his bag.
In actuality, "carpetbagger" developed as a term in reference to the cheap suitcases and valises that office seekers brought with them into the American South during the post-Civil War era.
