Neoconservatives and south haters here bash Jackson too
Maybe you havent noticed
First of all, Jackson died sixteen years before the Civil War, so he was hardly a Confederate.
Secondly, he was a staunch unionist whose stance on South Carolina's attempt at nullification in 1832 paved the way for the later Unionists that neo-Confederates hate so much.
Thirdly, he was a radical and one of the founders of the Democrat party. America's true conservatives at the time were the Federalists and Whigs, not the Democrats.
This confusion is what happens when people start thinking that populism is "conservative."
Many of these people applauded Obama's proposal to replace Jackson on the $20 with Harriet Tubman. Who needs the Left when you have self-proclaimed "conservatives" willingly doing the Left's dirty work for them?
