Cracker

The name given to two different groups of people in South Georgia and Central to North Florida.
Group 1. Those of Spanish origin that cracked whips over the heads of cattle (The first cowboys in America were not from Texas).
Group 2. Those of Irish or Scottish heritage that would steal cattle from farmers in South Georgia and Central to North Florida were called "crakers" pronounced cray~kur. An old English word to describe those who steal cattle. It is important to note that the origin of this word had nothing to do with slaves. Those who are actual crackers are proud to be crackers. The name is now applied to those that inhabit and live in that region.
