Andrew Jackson has a dismal record on the economy and with regard to Native Americans. He abolished the second Bank of the United States, contributing to a major economic downturn. He conducted war on the Native Americans, relocating from their ancestral lands, via what is now referred to as the "Trail of Tears." He also did nothing to promote women's status. Taking him off the $20 bill and replacing him with a woman, for example Susan B. Anthony, Eleanor Roosevelt, or Harriet Tubman, would be a long over due tribute to women. Jackson's record on the economy alone should make him ineligible for such an honor.
