Answer: D

Explanation: I'm pretty sure it's D "Florida crackers were colonial-era British and American pioneer settlers in what is now the US state of Florida; the term is also applied to their descendants, to the present day, and their subculture among White Southerners. The first crackers arrived in 1763 after Spain traded Florida to Great Britain following the latter's victory over France in the Seven Years' War, though much of traditional Florida cracker folk culture dates to the 19th century"
