I think they should bump Franklin or Hamilton. Jackson was the first president out of the west, and the first popularly elected President. As lovely as he was to the natives, he wasn't unique in that, and he definitely represented a more inclusive America that sought to help the common people. Natives were excluded from that definition, and history should judge that, but I think you'd be hard pressed to argue that Jackson wasn't a great president, even if he was sometimes a lovely human being.

If you think any other President would have treated the natives better your crazy. Jackson was a huge rear end in a top hat but he was one that at least gave a little bit more of a poo poo about the common man than most of his time.

Right down to Governor Otter's poo poo-eating grin as he was shaking hands with his incredibly dour serious opponent. I wonder whether it's Butch or one of his staffers that watched Alpha House and had an epiphany.

Jackson hated national banking and paper money, so it was dumb to put him on the $20 from the start.

That wouldn't work either, whichever state was getting "bumped"would hold it up in the Senate.

I want the Japanese equivalent. Coins for 1, 5, 10, 50, 1.00, 5.00 Bills for 10.00, 50.00, 100.00 No bullshit where shops are like "no large bills past 20", too. Everywhere in Japan you could break a 10k yen note.

Seeing that Republicans control both the House and Senate, if anyone is going to replace Jackson it's going to be Reagan.

Iv heard he took the last name from a Scottish poet of the clan Douglas and added an extra s. But the story in my family for the longest time was that there were a lot of freed slaves with the last name Douglass so he took it.

There's no way you're replacing Jackson with a woman unless it's someone like Belle Boyd.
