Jackson is a worker in a factory in which Cunningham has profitable shares. He is first glimpsed by them as he passes, peddling to earn a few extra cents. When Everhard reveals Jackson's story to Avis, as well as to her father and Morehouse, Avis goes in search of the truth about Jackson's situation, realizes the essential injustice of that situation, and as a result begins her journey into the world and life of the Revolutionist. In other words, Jackson is a catalytic character, a trigger for change and transformation. His fate is detailed in chapter nineteen.
