Shouldnt be on there at all.

I must respectfully disagree. Tubman was a bold believer in freedom, and the use of firearms to defend that freedom. And she risked her life as a spy for the Union army. She also understood that the GOP was the party that best represented what she believed. That’s why she was a Republican.
Does that put Tubman in the same rank as the Founders? No, not at all. But as I see it, it does make her eligible for consideration on a bill.
Side point: If the PC folks demand diversity on U.S. currency, then give them Tubman. And give them Tubman’s story.
Of course not - but try explaining that to the people on this thread who stupidly equate today's Democrats and Republicans and today's political debates/ideological spectrum with yesterdays. The "Jackson was a Democrat" and "Confederates were Democrats" propaganda line is used as a ruse by the Left to wage their culture war against "dead white males", this time with the help of less than sharp GOP establishmentarians who can't think about issues apart from party loyalty.
Politics aside, Harriet Tubman is a historical footnote. If you're going to take a major historical figure like Jackson off the bill, at least replace him with someone of equal significance. Tubman doesn't even come close, nor does any female "minority". The only reason there was talk of putting Tubman's snarling mug there is symbolic affirmative action.
