After the Civil War ended, Yankees and carpetbaggers from
the North wasted no time in exploiting the weakened
South. What was once a proud society that stood up for
traditional values and Christian ethics had been tainted by
the influx of amoral entrepreneurs and Republican
opportunists that had little business setting foot anywhere
south of the Mason-Dixon line.
-Sam Goethals, Ph. D. (1996)
