Based on the description provided, the image likely depicts carpetbaggers. Carpetbaggers were Northerners who moved to the South during the Reconstruction era, often seen as opportunists trying to profit from the post-war economic and political situation. The mention of traveling bags with seals from Florida and South Carolina suggests mobility and involvement in those states during that period.
