Carpetbagger - In popular culture
In 1911, Ginn and Company published the first edition of David Saville Muzzey's An American History, which with a few minor changes would become one of the most widely-used high school history texts of the next two decades. Muzzey referred to carpetbaggers as "low-minded adventurers and rascally, broken-down politicians" who poisoned the minds of African-Americans "against the only people who could really help them begin their new life of freedom well--their old masters." In a footnote, Muzzey added: "The carpetbaggers tempted the negroes away from industrial pursuits into politics."
In Harold Robbins' The Carpetbaggers, the word has the generic meaning of a presumptuous newcomer who enters a new territory seeking success. In this case, the territory is the movie industry, and the newcomer is a wealthy heir to an industrial fortune who, like Howard Hughes, simultaneously pursued aviation and moviemaking avocations.
