Editing Jackboots (section)

==History==
[[Joseph Wilford]] was responsible for creating the Jackboots that were on Snowpiercer (and Big Alice) to maintain order, when Melanie Cavill confronted Wilford for removing half of her geneticists from the passenger list for Jackboots, she then asked for at least 12 Geneticists in exchange for 12 Jackboots, Wilford only agreed to 6.

At boarding, when survivors arrived at the main gate, Grey was ordered by Wilford to use deadly force if needed and when the group of 6 geneticists and their children arrived (who Cavill needed and had tickets), Wilford orders their deaths. During the chaos at boarding many Jackboots were killed or thrown off the train (or left behind), but they were instrumental in stopping more stowaways, later known as "Tailies", from getting aboard. However, they were ultimately unsuccessful in pushing them off the train, managing to only lock them in the last 3 cars<ref name=":0">S01E01 - [[First, the Weather Changed|''First, the Weather Changed'']]</ref>. 

During the [[Year Three Rebellion]], the Tail revolted, but was blind at every door and was defeated, 62 were killed and 13 (including [[Old Ivan]]) lost a arm, it is unknown how many Jackboots were killed.
