Donald Trump seems outraged about the proposal to replace Andrew Jackson's image on the front of the $20 dollar bill with that of the
great black abolitionist anti slave freedom fighter, Harriet Tubman. This is a just and appropriate proposal that should have been advocated a long
time ago and the great anti slave freedom fighter is well deserving of the honor! Trump's attitude opposing the new proposal speaks volumes about
Trump and is hardly surprising!
Andrew Jackson's record as a past great American President and General speaks for itself, and it includes his important victory over
the British in 1814 at the Battle of New Orleans years before he even became President and while he was still a great American Military leader. But
after becoming President, he was the architect of the horrendous and nefarious Indian Removal Bill that forced thousands of innocent Creek and other
Southeastern native Americans to hostile country, uprooting them from their ancestral homes in the name of American expansion. This inhumane act
resulted in the deaths of countless women and children and the illness and starvation of many more innocent human beings, all in the interest of
enlarging American land control and increasing real estate speculation and profit.
The above remains a black mark in our proud history and , in my opinion, it precludes Jackson's image placement on the hugely circulated
$20 U.S. currency.
