Who are the northerners who came to Lousiana to control affairs behind the scenes?

The "northerners" who came to Louisiana to control affairs Behind the Scenes during the Reconstruction era were primarily Northern Republicans, including politicians, businessmen, and social reformers. They often held positions in the state government and supported policies aimed at integrating formerly enslaved individuals into society. These individuals, sometimes referred to as "carpetbaggers," were perceived by some Southerners as opportunists looking to exploit the region’s post-war vulnerabilities for personal gain and political power. Their influence was significant in shaping the political landscape of Louisiana during this tumultuous period.
