Default rear brakes locking up ( after light off road excursion )

ok so i went out shooting (with my 9 year old girl and 1 of her little friends) it was raining, so the dirt road in the desert was wet, now on the way home my left rear drum is locking up when i brake and Jeep wants to go squarrly, have to counter steer to keep it straight

89 Xj with drums in the back

what could be the culprit? dirt inside drum? bad shoes? or did something lock/break?

the Jeep still brakes but i have to depress the brake pedal very hard and it locks the Right rear wheel a around 5-10mph

Pull your drums off and check things out.Sometimes you can pack the drums in mud and they act up.
