While I would've been happy with a number of people, I say great choice! Harriet Tubman, the "Moses of her People," was as brave and bold as any. And a true patriot at that. To those who can't stand having Jackson (note, I was against having Hamilton removed) removed, I don't gloat and respect your view. I am not one of those people who is of the view that Jackson should be removed because of his politics, the fact that he owned slaves, etc. While not things that I agree with, I'm also not in favor of whitewashing history. One of the great things about our country is that, for all of its past and present ills (and which country is without?), we have been able to endure and advance throughout time.
Andrew Jackson - As a President, he had an overly simplistic concept of how a lot of things worked, and his financial policies were a mess. This said, he was a great soldier. Hindsight being 20.20, He perhaps should have stayed in the army instead of going into politics. How cool is that? He would be universally hailed as an American hero today, instead of a symbol of both the best and worst of that era in this country’s history.
I find that I don't really care who is on the currency as long as it doesn't become tasteless like the Medal of Freedom has become.. Obama is not the first and he won't be the last...
