Jackson’s one great contribution was winning the Battle of New Orleans. A great victory that actually meant nothing because the war had ended 18 days prior.
My wife often comments that the Native American is still getting a far more raw deal than the Black Man. She remembers how one of her grandmothers was sold to the highest bidder. This long after overt slavery was made illegal.
As a foreigner, I don’t know much about USA History, but I have read sometimes that Lincoln just freed the slaves from the confederate states, as a war measure.

Well, ain’t that dandy, Andy. Specially when you’re on the $20 banknote and Abraham’s on the $5 banknote as well as 1¢ coin.

And that, along with his penchant for Native American removal and genocide, is why Harriet Tubman should be on the $20 bill.

Ethnic cleansing and the death march of innocent families doesn’t deserve honor.

Could not agree more. Cancel Jackson, just as Germany has done to Hitler and his fellow criminals.

In America, you can say what you want but nothing protects you from the consequences.

“Since Abraham Lincoln”? Jackson was president from 1829 to 1837. Lincoln didn’t become president until 1861.

Cancel is just a stand-in for book burning.

Harriet Tubman on the $1000 bill. Her last name always made me think she was a large woman. So put her mug on the big buxx !!
