The term redneck and cracker has been used for many years and both terms originated from the South. Rednecks were white poor people who lived in the South. They usually worked as a yeoman farmer who were previously servants. Now in the united States rednecks are referred to white underclass people. The term cracker was used for people who were considered "white trash." These people are those who did not have an education and who practiced cracking. Nowadays, these terms are still used. Many people know what these terms really mean, but there are others who use them as racist terms. It is common to hear someone call a very white person redneck because of his/her physical appearance. California is a diverse state and it is not unusual to see people who physically look redneck.
Cotton was important in the South. There were two types of cottons that were grown in the South. One of them was called the Seal Island which was easier to clean and it was imported from the West Indies. Upland cotton was more difficult to clean and was grown in the land. Cotton was ranked third in production. Cotton is also grown in San Joaquin, California. San Joaquin has a valley cotton tour that attracts many consumers. According to the Western Farm Press, the annual tours that are arranged bring farmers, brokers, supply chain partners, and brands so they can get an idea of the challenges and possibilities of making changes in the cotton industry.
