The Revolutionary contributions of Andrew Jackson, who, today, was kicked off the $20 bill:
Jackson and his two older brothers enlisted in the Revolutionary Army as soon as war broke out. Andrew was 12 or 13.
Scots Irish. Couldn't miss out on a war for his country with that breeding.
The Brothers Jackson fought in the bloodiest battles of the Carolinas, the most ruthless theatre of the entire war. Oldest brother died in the Battle of Stono Ferry. Andrew & Robert were taken prisoner, Andrew’s brother dying shortly thereafter of smallpox.
Jackson was ordered into valet service of a Brit officer, but angrily refused to shine the officer's boots (or do anything for that matter).The officer slashed Jackson with his saber, leaving a long and visible scar across his face for life.
Jackson's mother volunteered as a nurse to Americans taken prisoner by the Brits & jammed into "hulks" (prison ships) in Charleston Harbor.
These fetid places of horror were breeding cultures for typhus and other diseases. (10k+ patriots died in prison hulks off NY’s East River.)
Jackson's mother herself contracted a disease spreading through the ships and died, leaving Andrew an orphan at age 14.
That's who was taken off the $20 bill today.
I’ve never seen Ann as a brunette, before. How old is that pic?
Jackson’s mother was a prostitute who serviced British officers, true?
I think it’s hilarious that a Democratic administration kicks a Democrat off the $20 bill and replaces him with a Republican.
Don’t know.
Andrew Jackson, founder of the democrat party, denounced as rasist and replaced as figurehead by a black women who saved all,of about 100 people from slavery
Kinda like BLM taking over Bernie’s mic
I'm guessing at least 20 years old.
Mann Coulter.
David Crockett hated Jackson for the way he treated the Indians of the Blue Ridge region.
But who decides such things anyway? soebarkah?
I’m looking forward to the new “Thug Life” selfies on FB, with a fistful of Tubman twenties and Glocks, gripped in blinged-out hands.
I would prefer Thomas J. Jackson
THE CONVERSION OF PRESIDENT ANDREW JACKSON

Tubman was a very minor historical figure. Jackson a giant.
Ann Coulter BUMP!
Did Jackson audit the Fed?
Jackson was my favorite president. He fought in multiple wars for America. He was a general in the war of 1812, was shot several times and survived, fought for states powers against the Feds when he was president and was tough as nails. To take him off the $20 is sickening and is one of that devil’s last kick in the teeth on the way out.
“To take him off the $20 is sickening and is one of that devil’s last kick in the teeth on the way out.”
Actually, it’s a good thing.
Jackson fought against the existence of the Central Bank and ended the Fed during his presidency.
Putting him on a Federal Reserve Note was just to mock him.
How else could he have persuaded Moses to portay him on the silver screen?
Ann is good on some things but her post just shows her clueless about monetary policy.
Would it be rasist to wonder why they didn’t put Harriet on the EBT cards?
Maybe they saving that for revrund Al Sharpton
