Andrew Jackson $20 Remembered

What a joke. So what's next - scrub Mount Rushmore because the founding fathers have slaves?
 
I'm looking forward to celebrities' opinions on the matter for which they will need to apologize on GMA.
 
I wonder if this means that d'angelo barksdale will assume that harriet tubman was president at one point
 
Hamilton deserved to go. Taking a war hero off the bill is an absolute disgrace.
 
Went to the Hermitage when I was in Nashville a couple of years ago and took the tour. Even his own historical society had to admit that Jackson was deeply flawed.

If you're going to call Jackson flawed, you should at least acknowledge Hamilton was as flawed, if not more so.
 
Fundamentally transforming the country. At least it wasnt the "Godmother of the Modern Eugenics Movement" Margaret Sanger. Her name was brought up also.

To go along in a similar note, 200 Navy and Marine Medal of Honor winners were snubbed along with tradition when a new ship was recently named after a liberal politician, Carl Levin, Michigan, who never served a day in the military but did preside over the Senate armed services committee during a time of cutbacks.
 
If you are not racists, what's your problem with the change?
Nothing at all against Tubman - I would have thought Susan B Anothy gets the nod but no complaints on that front. It's the removing of Jackson for his so called "mistreatment of Native Americans". Give me a break.
 
I have more of a problem with them deciding to keep Hamilton on there (reportedly) because of the popularity of that dumb show

Might be a bit more to it than that champ. I'm glad you have no problem with Tubman. between this and Schilling you're were trending Make America white Again.

I am now reading Annette Gordon-Reed's The Heminges of Monticello; I believe she has won numerous awards
as both a writer and historian. She says the play about Hamilton is flawed historically.

The Federalist Papers are brilliant. Hamilton, Madison, and John Jay all deserve to be on currency. If someone is going to be added it should be Scalia.

Currencies change every couple of decades. Getting upset about him being taken off is just as dumb as celebratijg her being put on. Who cares - meaningless
