Jackson was a “populist”, and good for him. However, he was against a National Bank, and managed to eliminate our first effort at creating one, leading to all the different “currencies” and bank failures, etc. until we got our act together in the 20th century.The Fed isn’t perfect, but Jackson, with his views, never belonged on a DOLLAR bill, let alone a 20!All because he won a battle AFTER a war was over! Thank God for sailing ships and slow communications?
