(Civil war ?)Describe the characters of the Republican state governments in the Sou?

If this is about the Reconstruction era then this is not a Civil War question but I will answer you anyway. I believe this question is about the CarpetBaggers. They were politicians who went down South after the war to exploit the chaos in the region and took advantage of the "punishing the South for the war brigade" They were called carpetbaggers because they would arrive on the scene with all their belongings in a carpet bag.
