Tubman to replace Jackson on Twenty Dollar Note

[L Verge]

Jackson was an American hero when we were growing up and even into the 1960s and 70s, when I was teaching. Then came a new breed of liberal historians who decided that all Presidents had to have faults - and Jackson was an obvious one to make their poster child.

Andy was a Southern slaveholder, and he also played a significant role in the dispersal of Native Americans to a cruel, interior U.S. environment. Remember Trail of Tears? Right there you are playing a double racist role which is going to cost you dearly in 21st-century historical assessments.

He also got a bit loose with his dealings with banks. I've read that his executive orders would make our current leader look like a novice. And remember that one of the ways to defeat a nation is to destroy their heroic images from the past. We're getting really good at that.
