RE: Female on the 10 Dollar Bill
Ooops! Franklin is on the $100.
No surprise to you, Tom, but Jackson is my favorite president. He is condemned for being a duelist, a slaveholder, and driving the Civilized Tribes from the South. Most of his duels concerned his having to marry his wife twice as his wife thought her original husband had gotten a divorce. The story is that an old slave of Jackson when asked upon Jackson's death, if the general had gone to heaven. The slave said heave. The questioner scoffed, whereupon the old slave said, "If General Jackson wanted to go to heaven, you may be sure he is there. On Indian Removal I suggest that you read Francis Paul Prucha, “Andrew Jackson’s Indian Policy: A Reassessment,” Journal of American History 56 (1969): 527–39 |
