  cracker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In his poem, West refers to himself and White southerners as "crackers." The term is generally of a derogatory nature, and seems to be resident to the South.
The first is that a "cracker" was a slang term used by 19th Century Georgian slaves to refer to the slavemasters.
The other theory Major suggests is that, in light of the extreme racial tension of the 19th Century, "cracker" came straight from "the white soda cracker as opposed to say, ginger cookies" (Major 42).

Historians have long been at pains to dispel the myth that antebellum white society in the South was divided into two classes, planters and poor whites.
According to Hundley, the poor white is lazy even in the pursuit of pleasure, "too lazy to distill honest peach or apple brandy, like the industrious yeomanry, they prefer to tramp to the nearest groggery with a gallon-jug on their shoulders, which they get filled with "bust-head", "rot-gut" or some other equally poisonous abomination" (Hundley,268.)
The two opponents are sturdy yeomen; the instigator, Ransy Sniffle, clearly belongs to the "Cracker" population.

 Genesis of the Southern Cracker--American Mercury--by W. J. Cash
Thus once more, if it had introduced distinctions among white men, the plantation had also introduced that other all-dwarfing distinction between the white man and the fl--at the very moment of the poor-white's degradation, it had elevated him to a tremendous superiority that, come what might, he could never publicly lose.
The cracker almost completely abandoned economic and social focus, failed wholly to develop class feeling, and, in the great leisure that was his, gave himself up cheerfully to elaborating the old backwoods pattern of amusement and distinction--became in his fashion a remarkable romantic and hedonist.
Thus, the cracker, seeing hands everywhere reaching down to bear him up, seized them eagerly, grappled back with the pathetic passion of his heritage, and gave himself over fully to the purpose, not of making his own way up but of keeping the fl man down.
