Harriet Tubman should be put on every currency that way southerners abandon money and embrace socialism.

William T. Sherman, John Brown, and Frederick Douglass would also look great on currency

Very much for all of this. It is important to honor America's historical figures on our currency.

lee surrendering to grant at appomattox would be good on the back of a bill

so would something dedicated to the victims of both the trial of tears and the japanese internment

also a scene from the piss tape when its released, because it's real

As much as I hate to say it, and for all the unqualified good he did in burning the traitor states to the loving ground, Sherman didn't exactly have the highest opinion of black people.

washington owned slaves and i think he should still be on the $1

lincoln should still be on the $5 as well and he wasn't fond of black people, he just hated slavery

realistically, washington, lincoln, and franklin are fine where they are. maybe keep jefferson on the $2 as well

the $10, $20, and $50 should be abolitionists, famous us women, and civil war generals respectively

and wilson needs to be replaced by fdr on the $100,00 because gently caress wilson

at the end of the day both those guys were still fighting for white supremacy, just a supremacy ruled by yankee capitalists rather than shared between those capitalists and the dixie aristocrats

while extremely not wrong, have you considered how much sherman and the southern surrender would piss off racists?
