Jackson wouldn't be among my favorites but leave him on the bill.

Being half-Cherokee, he has always been a villain in my eyes, but I agree, he was a significant figure in American history and should stay on the bill.

Agree about his significance. I live in Jackson county Michigan in a town named after Michigan’s first senator next to a town named after a French dictator (Napoleon).

He was a true democrat. His political payoffs and gamesmanship showed where the party was headed. He gave the much more valuable Toledo strip to Ohio if they could deliver the vote for the Democrats in the next election. Michigan got that “worthless” upper peninsula with.
