I want to read Brian Kilmeade’s book: “Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans: The Battle That Shaped America’s Destiny” before I would comment.

Best to make decisions based on knowledge than on emotions. History is complicated. Hell, so is the present.

Re Jackson, if you weren’t already aware, he will remain on the $20 bill. That’s the difference an election makes:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_twenty-dollar_bill
On April 20, 2016, Lew officially announced that Alexander Hamilton would remain on the $10 bill, while Andrew Jackson would be replaced by Tubman on the front of the $20 bill, with Jackson appearing on the reverse.[20][21][22] Lew simultaneously announced that the five- and ten-dollar bills would also be redesigned in the coming years and put into production in the next decade.[20][22] Steven Mnuchin, the current U.S. Treasury Secretary, said that he will not commit to putting Tubman on the twenty-dollar bill, explaining “People have been on the bills for a long period of time. This is something we’ll consider; right now we have a lot more important issues to focus on.”[23]
