Even if one finds fault with Jackson as the chief executive in Washington he was an accomplished man before going to Washington. His victories at Horseshoe Bend and New Orleans were decisive. If the military battles looked too easy it is because he did the difficult work getting into position, spending efforts at gaining intel, and using the best info to develop good plans.

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.
