Remove President Andrew Jackson from the 20 dollar bill due to the actions he took against Native Americans.

Created by C.L. on May 12, 2015

"That those tribes cannot exist surrounded by our settlements and in continual contact with our citizens is certain. . . . Established in the midst of another and a superior race, and without appreciating the causes of their inferiority or seeking to control them, they must necessarily yield to the force of circumstances and ere long disappear."
-President Andrew Jackson, December 3, 1833

Andrew Jackson was a president that proposed the Indian Removal Act of 1830 which displaced Native Americans from their homelands, oversaw the death march now known as the "Trail of Tears", and attempted to eradicate Native Americans east of the Mississippi.

President Jackson should not be on the 20 dollar bill because he is not a good representative of America with his indisputable racism.
