There are some knee-jerk reactions to the seemingly "political correctness run amok" move to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, replacing President Andrew Jackson. But the replacing of the slave-owning founder of the Democratic Party with a gun-toting black Republican may spark a political debate worth having and unearth historical truths worth learning. As PJ Media described the announcement:

The first woman on United States bank notes will be the famous abolitionist and Republican Harriet Tubman, Politico reported Wednesday. She will give the boot to the nation's sixth president and a major figure in the Democratic Party, Andrew Jackson, on the $20 bill, and save the founder of the nation's financial system, Alexander Hamilton, from being kicked off the $10 bill.

Jackson. That's the guy. Thank you.

Could women vote in federal elections before women’s suffrage?

I didn’t say she needed to be on any bill, I was just giving out information maybe someone would like to read about...

No one is knocking her accomplishments. We're just saying the administration is playing racial politics, just to get people to stop using the $20, and then have an excuse to abolish cash.

Here is the wiki article on the 19th amendment. It appears that about a quarter of the states allowed women to vote in all elections (including federal), the rest had varying levels.

Your right there, that is exactly what they want to do...I guess people have noticed that do have a job and a paycheck, they are direct deposit now, so a foreign bank can come in and take out money from your account or our government can also, and FDIC can’t afford to cover the money anymore because we are so many trillions of dollars in debt...

Her finger’s on the trigger... Tsk, tsk. d;^)

Yeah, but when we can spin it our way, do so with vigor!

The progressive left must scratching their heads about how most real conservatives responded to this change. Sure, The Donald was against it, but he was trying to appeal to the Neanderthal stereotype that he has of low-education conservatives. Rush Limbaugh had a much better response, which is very well captured by the poster that compares racist, slave-owning founder of the modern Democrat party with gun-toting, slave-liberating Republican woman of color.
