During the years immediately following the U.S. Civil War, the plight of
Southerners of all persuasions was not helped by the large influx of
scalawags and other folks trying to make a fast buck off the locals'
troubles. One particularly troublesome group originated from the
Midwestern city of Madison. This group, singing their theme song "On
Wisconsin", became known as the Carpetbadgers.
