Hahahaha, Jackson is still on the $20. He's just demoted to a depiction of a statue in front of the white house on the inverse. That's perfect.

Wasn't Jackson also one of our more effective generals in the 1812 debacle? That and winning a bunch of duels by shooting second and aiming calmly while injured.

Jackson butchered them in 1812 and it set the scene for his hostility while he was president.

That last part to get the new bills out ASAP is important, the Women on the 20 movement have reacted to the announcement by pushing to get the bills out by 2020, which seems reasonable.

Although there is good reason to believe that the crushing victory at New Orleans was an important factor in the British reassessment of their relationship with the United States from an economic rival with a weak military that could easily be pushed around to a potential economic and military partner that was more trouble than it was worth to fight. Not that this is a defense of the guy responsible for the Trail of Tears, however.

DolphinCop posted:this is the correct approach to take with anything bearing andrew jackson's leering visage Disagree. South Carolina should be absolutely plastered with leering visages of Andrew Jackson threatening the politicians that he's still watching the filthy nullifiers. Watch your back, or the angry specter of Jackson will make good on his threats. TildeATH posted:What was the appeal of Jackson in the first place? If Andrew Jackson hadn't done a some unbelievably cunty things he'd be an awesome action hero president. Instead he went and did the Trail of Tears, destroyed the 2nd Bank of the United States, and killed a whole bunch of people who didn't need killing. He was an angry revenant who put his all into loving over anyone who crossed him, and those weren't always people who deserved Sherman in Georgia levels of retribution.

On the page the treasury just put up, they have a list of names that were suggested of various women who could be put on the $10, it's really cool to learn about all of these different women. My personal favorite:

zoux posted:OH MY GOD Amazing. But I think there's another related interpretation that could gain traction in the south that's equally problematic: Is it appropriate to put the image of a person once considered to be tradable property of significant value on a piece of paper considered to be tradable property of some value? Will we see certain racial epithets applied to these bills? "I'm raking in the Benjamins" is one thing. "Hey, can you break me a [insert-a-distasteful-word-for-African-Anericans]" is another. The intent is good, but I think it's going to turn out to show a really ugly side of America in practice.

re: Jackson There's merit to saying judging people by current ethical standards is problematique, but with Jackson, even his contemporaries thought he was a reckless, genocidal rear end in a top hat.

Here's my idea: Harriet Tubman on the front, and an engraving of John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry on the back. Double the awesomeness, double the pissed off racists. Plus, John Brown is white so they can't claim he's just getting put on the bill because he's black.

It's kind of weird that he suggests "a" $2 bill, instead of "the" $2 bill. Saying it like that makes it sound like he doesn't know there already is a $2 bill.

Disinterested posted:His contemporaries certainly agreed with you. It's the general historical assessment of the War of 1812: militarily a wash, but American successes at sea (hostile frigates taking Royal Navy frigates one on one and winning had been considered unthinkable, then the Americans went and did it repeatedly), on the Great Lakes, and land victories at Baltimore and New Orleans lead British authorities, notably Robert Jenkinson, the Prime Minister, to rethink their relations with the United States, which they had previously regarded as a serious economic rival but one with no military to speak of and thus a second-rate power easily bullied and dominated by the British Empire. The significant military victories during the war persuaded Jenkinson and other British leaders that the United States not only couldn't be pushed around with ease - especially not while Napoleon was still a problem - but that doing so would be far more trouble than it was worth and the best way forward for Britain was to turn the United States into a military and economic ally.

I would also settle for decorated war hero and pioneering tactician William Tecumseh Sherman and his march to the sea being the back image.
