“Yep. And that’s why we’re not hearing much anymore about putting Harriet Tubman on US currency. Turns out she was a 2A Republican.”

That’s not why they dropped it.(Have they really dropped it? Or is it on hold)
Tubman was going to replace Andrew Jackson the 7th President of the United States on the $20 bill.
Tubman would be on the front and Jackson was going to relegated to the back of the bill.(Absolutely ridiculous)
It was supposed to happen during the Hillary Clinton Presidency to celebrate women’s suffrage under the 19th Amendment.
This proposal is/was stupid, because Tubman doesn’t have the stature to belong on anything more than ‘special money’ like the Susan B Anthony dollar.
Totally agree.
I’m sorry, but while Tubman may have been venerable, she does not have the stature of a Jackson. Meaning, her importance to the country is NOT that big.
Glad this went away. I was pretty damn sure though, that it was a done deal, and not just a proposal.
Wouldn’t surprise me if it was scrapped because it would just cost too much to set up…much less in 5 years as it seemed to be.
