As for 'cracker' in its pejorative sense, my own theory would be that it comes from the soda crackers which formed
an important part of the diet of poor rural Southerners earlier this century.
Think about it, the people wielding (cracking) the whip probably were well off relative to the poorer whites (usually associated with the term 'cracker') making their living off the land.
Redneck Dictionary?
