Cracker

Despite popular cultural references slave owners who had many slaves had a cracker slave who would crack the whip and whip slaves who didn't work. If a slave owner did not have many slaves they would have to whip their own slaves. This was a sought after "job" for slaves because they didn't have to work as hard as the rest of the slaves.

Cracker slave or slave owner would whip slaves who didn't work hard.
