What We Don't Know About The Man On The Twenty Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew has announced that abolitionist Harriet Tubman will replace President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. And, while Jackson will still reportedly remain on the reverse side of the bill, the move is nonetheless a momentous one.

the major challenge that Andrew Jackson faced was the war with the bank. This challenge, especially shows Jackson’s power as a President. He imposed his ideas, whether it was constitutional or not onto the nation.

They speculated that this would damage Andrew Jackson’s image…

Andrew Jackson was the first president that did not come from a colonial family. His parents were Scots-Irish immigrants who were poor. They came to the Carolina’s within the second half of the eighteenth century. Just before he was born, his father was killed. Jackson soon became an attorney, when he had learned more about the law.

The Cherokees tried stopping the removal process by pointing at Cherokee Nation v. Georgia and Worcester v. Georgia, but Jackson remarked “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it.” (Kurtz) In 1838 and 1839 as a part of President Andrew Jackson’s Indian removal policy, the Cherokee Nation was forced to give up their tribal lands east of the Mississippi River, and were relocated in what is now Oklahoma. The journey made was called the Trail of Tears because of the hunger,…
