Indeed, the real reason why they don't want this change has nothing do with 'saving money' ... it's because they don't want a Black woman on their money. There is a direct correlation between racism and supporting Trump.
They think they have everyone fooled but they really don't, we all know exactly what they are.
Yea there's 60 million racists. Even the blacks and Hispanics that voted for trump. They are racist too. And 45% of women are sexist too.
Ya know you liberals have used the words racist sexist misogynist xenophobe islamophobe so much they don't even mean anything anymore
Why don't you want Harriet Tubman on the bill. Please explain why, using oh its tradition isn't an argument. Because you could easily argue that we should cut off theives hands since it is a biblical tradition.

It's the only way the Democrats can get votes they have to play all these different cards like the race card, sex card, ethnic card... they still lost though and are still crying!!
How many Native women and children did Jackson slaughter.
Before he became president he did kill some natives, as a military commander he was under orders to do so, and the US was at war with some indian tribes whom were killing settlers. Jackson was carrying out his orders.
Concerning the Cherokee, he saved thousands of Cherokee lives by not obeying the court decision, and ordering their removal from Georgia. Times being what they were, The banks, railroads, miners, settlers and the State government of Georgia all wanted the Cherokee removed as per terms of the Georgia Compact of 1802, signed by Thomas Jefferson, which stated that all Indian tribes be removed from Georgia by the federal government in return for Georgia giving up the territory that was to become MS and AL.
Why did Jackson defy the court order? I believe it was put to him point blank, probably in some back room meeting where representatives of all who wanted Cherokee land put it to him, that if Jackson did not order the removal, they would raid the Cherokee and kill them all, and take the land anyway. So when Jackson disobeyed the court, this gave the Cherokee 3 years to voluntarily leave without being attacked. The 17K Cherokee were paid the equivalent of 100K per head in today's money, and given a great expanse of land to settle in Oklahoma. The botched removal under the supervision of Winfield Scott, occurred after Jackson left office, and the weather was to blame for much of the suffering. Jackson saved the Cherokee from extermination, he was a good president and deserves to be on the $20 bill.
