well...I disagree. I think Harriet Tubman is a great American heroine and Andrew Jackson was a horrible and detestable man.

In 1814 when we had to kick the Brits out for the second time Jackson was our Huckleberry. Read a history book sometime.

Andrew Jackson had his flaws, but he was a great patriot and champion of the average American against the elites of his day. For that, and his unquestionable wartime service he deserves to be honored.

Tubman was a minor historical figure. Jackson was a giant, both as a general and as president. His trail of tears history must be seen in the context of the battles he wages against the murderous Seminoles from Spanish Florida, whom he defeated and then took the state. He was a slave-owner...so was every Founder. Big whoop. Jackson was the last president to eliminate the national debt, and also fought those trying to establish a Federal Reserve in his time (and he won).

Tubman is too ugly to be on the $20 bill and Jackson opposed the central bank which makes him a hero in my book.
