Lady Liberty should adorn any replacement of Jackson. I have long detested this “hero” of New Orleans! Jean Lafitte was the reason Jackson won the battle, just as a Cherokee warrior saved Jackson’s life when he was attacked by a Creek in the Creek wars. Regardless of the FACT that his life had been saved by a Cherokee and that he owed that victory to the Cherokees, he bowed to the demands of land hungry GOLD HUNGRY white men who demanded the Cherokees be pushed off their land. This was after GOLD was discovered in Georgia. So the Cherokees moved to the Carolinas which wasn’t good enough. They were rounded up and moved to Oklahoma, but some resisted and went “Unto These Hills.”
The Cherokee were a highly developed tribe, head of the Cherokee Nation. They had a system of government which I shall not attempt to describe here, but would suggest to those who prefer snarky comments against them. You should do a little research before taking such an unintelligent stand.
This leftist attack on Jackson has nothing to do with my opinion. I used to lecture on certain tribes with which I was familiar. One of my dearest friends and I have argued about Jackson for years. My mind will never change. He is not an American Hero IMHO.
A twenty dollar gold piece at today’s gold price would be a tiny wafer indeed!
I LIKE the way you think but watch out, some here will start calling you looney, “the world can’t work on X tonnes of gold currently available”, or “that $20 paper is REALLY ‘worth’ the same as that $20 gold piece”....yadda yadda
Next you’ll be spouting off about that Constitution thingy and possible barred /s
