Sorry. Jackson’s bitter prejudice against native Americans and his contempt for the rule of law [Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831)] renders him unfit for being commemorated on our currency.

“...bitter prejudice against native Americans...”

Jackson got remarkable service from his own Indian forces at Horseshoe Bend.

Most people aren’t aware of how brutal Indians were to settlers or anybody else in those days, especially the Comanche’s.

It wasn’t without reason that Jackson was bitter towards them. Any right thinking American of the day would have been bitter towards them.

That’s not to say that there weren’t wrongs committed towards them, but they were not innocents at the time.
