Jackson would not want his face on any Federal Reserve note. He fought against a central bank way back when.
That is the ultimate irony. Jackson has a place because he was the first leader in the world elected by a mass electorate.
Jackson was a mixed bag. He did a few things I agree with but he was rather “Obamaesque” in his methods.
Well, that’s an interesting point. If Jackson and his pal bankers comprised the Fed today— he’d love to be on the bill LOL.
Jackson funneled money away from the 2nd US Bank, into his crony pal bankers banks.... he, defunded the national bank that is. Very corrupt guy even for the standards of that day. The “turning a blind eye” on the Georgia titled Cherokee lands and plantations, and forcing all of these to Oklahoma, to make way for the gold rush in Dahlonega— utterly criminal. He turned on the very Cherokee that helped him defeat the Creeks. An opportunist to say the least.
Even on Free Republic, sometimes it can take awhile to find someone with a clue.
+1 to you sir.
Just for show. It was a political ploy. Patronage and all that.
