Remove Andrew Jackson from the $20 Bill!

The Issue

Andrew Jackson does not belong on the $20 bill. He was one of the worst presidents in American history. Jackson was a THE WORST human being on every possible level, and should not be commemorated positively by any branch of American government. Not only was he a slave owner, but Jackson also treated the Native Americans with extreme creulty by forcefully expelling them from their historic territory. Jackson did this not only for personal enrichment, but also to expand slavery further south as well as white supremacy. Evangelical Christians opposed removal as a betrayal of Native Americans, and an impediment to missionary work. Jackson knew that there were alternatives to his actions, he simply chose not to employ them.

Jackson believed none of what John Quincy Adams believed. He believed government was a threat to be contained, that national banks like the one originated by Alexander Hamilton were abominations and threats to freedom, and that the federal government's role in building infrastructure should be limited. He vetoed a bill to run a road in Kentucky, arguing that federal funding of such infrastructure projects was unconstitutional.

Jackson must be removed from the $20 bill. He was a worse president than Hoover and Grant COMBINED!
