Replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. He is responsible for atrocities against Native Americans.

Created by A.B. on October 12, 2014

Andrew Jackson worked as a slave trader where he made his wealth. He was responsible for the Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears, campaigns to force at least 46,000 Cherokees, Choctaws, Muscogee-Creeks, Chickasaws, and Seminoles off their ancestral lands. Thousands of Native Americans died because of his policies. He does not deserve the honor of being on the $20 bill.
