In the pre-Civil War era of the US, the "one-drop" rule was a social and legal principle of racial classification that any person with even one ancestor of sub-Saharan-African ancestry is considered black.

By 1910, twenty US states had classified citizens by blood-fraction, most using one-fourth or one-eighth.

With respect to drums the first beat of the measure in the onedrop style is what?

In the one drop style of drumming, the first beat of the measure is emphasized by the bass drum, which plays a strong, accented hit. This creates a laid-back, syncopated feel, often accompanied by a snare hit on the third beat, while the hi-hat or cymbals may play more subtly or sporadically. The overall effect is a distinctive groove that is central to reggae music.
