The Trail of Tears is one of the most embarrassing events in United States history. I always wondered why a man like Andrew Jackson would be placed so prominently on the twenty dollar bill. After recent research I am shocked that he is even on any currency.
There is a lot not to like about Andrew Jackson. He was a major slave owner. At one point he owned over 150 slaves. He mutilated the bodies of dead Native Americans after the battle of Horseshoe bend. He started a spoils system in the United States government. But the worst crime would still be the Indian Removal Act which killed thousands and would have put Jackson on trial for crimes against humanity if it happened today.
So I have come to the conclusion that Andrew Jackson should be removed from the twenty dollar bill.
