I think it was a good idea to replace Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on the $20 note. Though we was never president, Tubman rescued hundreds of slaves, was a strong Christian, and fought for racial and women's rights. She fought for true freedom, before leftists subverted these movements to further their racial and sexist hatred. Democrat Andrew Jackson meanwhile disobeyed the orders of the Supreme Court so that he could slaughter hundreds of innocent Native Americans. He is a shame to America. |

Out of the choices that were left I'm happy Tubman was chosen. |

Leave it to you Dr B to take the life of a great woman and her incredible deeds and reduce it to your personal agenda of political division. Shame on you. ![]() |

Tubman isn't a bad choice. She's certainly a heroine for her actions. She deserves the honor. And, Andrew Jackson, while a consequential president, was both dictatorial and particularly nasty to the Indians. Hardly someone we'd want to celebrate. Still, I'd have probably preferred to put Martin Luther King on the 20 and replace Hamilton on the 10 with Susan B. Anthony. Then you'd have separate representatives for both women and civil rights. Moreover, while Tubman is a well-known and respected figure, MLK probably had a more lasting effect on the national consciousness. No disrespect to Tubman but I think it is a shame King isn't on any bills. |

It's long past time when Jackson needs to be removed, one of the longest lasting insults to a dozen southeastern tribes is to have continually seen his face on the currency for decades. I agree..Susan B Anthony (tried before, but on a coin which never gained traction), and MLK should be on our currency. Grant was an utter failure as a President. He could easily be replaced. |

Yeah, I forgot about Grant. We could definitely lose him. Nice guy and a good general. But a horribly bad president. |

I'm all for replacing Grant with Teddy Roosevelt on the $50 bill. |

Yeah, that was also 150 years before the reversal of the two parties. Ever heard of Nixon's Southern Strategy? Didn't think so.. |

What was the quote from that wonderful bastion of liberalism LBJ? It was something about have those "insert racial slur here" voting Democrat for the next 200 years. We all know the Southern Strategy of the DNC. Get the minority communities hooked on handouts. Like a drug dealer. |

Alexander Hamilton was an immensely important figure for America. I don't know if MLK was greater or not, but I don't see why we need to start changing him around. |

Hamilton while notable did not have the "Destiny change" that MLK was responsible for. A whole way of life altered forever. A passage of a bill detailing the Civil Rights of all Americans. |

Is that all you can desperately hold onto to continue the delusion that the Republican party is still the party of Lincoln? Regardless, all the bigots left the Democratic Party and became Republicans after civil rights was passed by the LIBERAL factions of both parties. New England liberal Republicans became Democrats. |

This was nonsense from 50 years ago. Not really a big deal to me. I was just countering the whole southern strategy comment with something similar.Crap that happened half a century ago which I was not in any way involved in really is not something I can get too concerned over. As for the money, I would have left it all the way it was. If they want to but Tubman on some money make a new bill or new coin and put her on that. Edited by Demagogue, Apr 20 2016, 05:59 PM.

Jackson was responsible for the deaths of over 4000 Cherokee as he marched my ancestors, in winter mind you, across three future States to the Indian Territory, where due to his Indian Removal Act lumped together well over a dozen tribes, some of whom were not overly fond of one another...now having to shared a finite amount of resources which killed even more after they had gotten there. You'll forgive me if I disagree that he should have been removed decades ago from the bill. |

I have no problem agreeing to disagree. This stuff is history. I am certain that Japanese Americans have great cause to dislike FDR (heck some of those who he interred are probably still around) but I would not agree to removing him from the dime over the offense of one ethnic party. During the early years of any nation strong men often do ugly things. That does not mean that we need hide from the fact that they were integral in the way things are hundreds of years later. Using Jackson for an example, he is a man who took down a corrupt central bank and fought to make the country more of a democracy than it was. In addition prior to being President he is credited with the battle of New Orleans and bringing Florida into the United States as a territory. His overall accomplishments, including those in wars against Native Americans can not be ignored and it is a bit of revisionist history to throw him under the bus for one small portion of his contributions. He is a historically significant figure and as with all great men, there is often good and bad. Edited by Demagogue, Apr 20 2016, 06:37 PM.

One SMALL? Portion....thousands of my people died, this isn't like he vetoed a budget, he had the US Army remove over a dozen Southeastern tribes by bayonet..tossing my people from land they had lived on for 3000 years. But let's go with something you mentioned. The Corrupt central bank...more of a Democracy, not so much, my people did it right...we took the Government to Court, all the way to the USSC, and we won our case. Jackson's infamous remark was, "They have made their ruling, now let them enforce it". Not exactly what I'd call making the country more of a democracy. Afterwards, he did what he wanted to do anyway, which was to take our lands and give them to American settlers. The beginnings of Manifest Destiny....written in the blood of thousands. As for the Battle of New Orleans, ironically enough, that action killed British troops weeks after the Peace Treaty had been signed. The man was a drunkard, and by most accounts, a scoundrel. His "good" actions notwithstanding, his "bad" ones are the more heinous. Edited by Tsalagi, Apr 20 2016, 07:05 PM.

Yep, I'm not denying the history. Sherman burned Georgia to the ground on his march to the sea. War sucks, it really sucks when you lose and are at the mercy of the victors. It really, really sucks when the General whose men you killed during the war and who still holds something of a grudge over it becomes president. Here is what I know. Mexico is not getting California and other lands back. The South is not gonna leave the union. Now, extrapolate those knows to the situation with native Americans. They are not gonna get any lands back. They are gonna rise again. It is time to get over the wars from nearly 200 years ago. Grant is still on money and should stay there Jackson should also but he is already being replaced so I guess you can celebrate that.
