"My only one teeny tiny issue with Jackson was his the black deed of American forcing natives off their lands and relocating them."

President Andrew Jackson's relocation of the Cherokee Tribe probably saved them from extinction. In this day and age of "Diversity is a Strength," we fail to remember relations between different races in this country hasn't always been as tolerant it is today in this country. If you look at world history you'll learn that no country with a diverse population of different races, languages, and religion has long survived.

Countries don’t naturally form with diverse populations, and when in the past they’ve occurred it’s usually been as a result of armed conquest. These unnaturally formed countries have either melded together into a single population made up of one mixed race with one language and one religion or they’ve come apart, and they’ve usually come apart with extreme violence. The longer these diverse populations were forced to coexist with one another without mixing and becoming one, the more the hatred grew among them and the more violently they broke apart, but break apart they did, or genocide has settled the issue once and for all.

No, if Andrew Jackson hadn't moved the Cherokee people to a safe area, they, in all likelihood, would have perished one and all.

I GUARANTEE this bill will be defaced and mocked.

Look at what's happened in Canada with the "Spock" bill.

They've had to redesign it so that people can't do that (as easily).

If you went to virtually any heavily black or Democrat area in this country, virtually no one would be able to identify Tubman. She was a great civil rights activist and instrumental in the underground railroad but her own people basically don’t know who she was because they are not highly educated in American history.

Andrew Jackson was a Democrat. Democrats have their Jefferson-Jackson Day dinners. Are liberals OK with dissing Jackson in this manner??? After all he’s one of them.

Democrats in my local community decided to rename their annual Jefferson-Jackson get together....I don't know what they are going to call it.

Yes, Anita Hill would be another non-constructive candidate.

Tubman was apparently someone who protested slavery effectively. She was probably therefore a REPUBLICAN because Repubs were anti-slavery.

Anyhow, it seems the best type of person to put on the most-used $20 bill would be someone who actually CREATED something in COMMERCE. Not a protestor. Give a protestor a statue somewhere, but not on a highly-valued currency note in commerce.
