Why is the man responsible for the Trail of Tears still on the $20 bill?

30. Jackson certainly had his flaws but his accomplishments are great as well.

Considering that he lived on the frontier in a different era no doubt influenced his hard edged character as well.

He fought duels and killed men; which had insulted his wife; Rachel, she would die just before they moved to the White House.

I believe Jackson is the only President that at one time was a POW, he sported a saber scar on his face from refusing to shine a British Officer's boots during the Revolutionary War as a young boy.

As for his accomplishments.

He saved New Orleans during the War of 1812 when other land victories were extremely rare, hell we couldn't even protect the nation's Capital from being burned.

Jackson was the father of the Democratic Party.

Jackson is the only President in U.S. history to pay off the national debt and fought against the corrupted bankster monopoly of his day.

Andrew Jackson prevented South Carolina's secession from the union during the turbulent times of the early 19th century.

He chose Martin Van Buren as his running mate and apparently Van Buren is the only President not related to the rest of them.

Jackson was the first common man's President and threw the greatest inauguration party in U.S. Presidential history.

Thanks for the thread, UnrepentantLiberal.
