A long long time ago in South Georgia and Northern Florida Pine tar and Pine pitch were harvesed. Placed in wooden barels and loaded on to wagons destine for Savannah, Macon and Atlanta.The Wagon Masters/Drivers would crack there wips as the Oxin pulled the Heavy loads. The cracking of the Bull wips could be heard for miles around. Hence the name Georgia Crackers. PS, The Wagon Masters or drivers, were mostly men of color.
