Poor Jackson. Fought against the national bank and got stuck on the $20 Federal Reserve Note as a reward.

Post War of 1812 Jackson was simply known as “the hero”. Of our early leader Jackson has the 3rd most things named for him behind Washington and Franklin. Amazing, considering that the founding fathers predated Jackson by 40+ years.

Jackson's popularity began its decline when the Trail of Tears was added to the national history standards. No context is given to this era, the Cherokee faction that signed a treaty to relocate, that Jackson thought the only way Native American culture could survive was to separate it from whites. Not defending everything Jackson did or how he did it, but the simplistic view given to school kids make Jackson more of a villain than he was.

Why not put different portraits on the same design on individual bills? Maybe George Washington, Martha Washington, and Betsy Ross on the one dollar bill. Lincoln, Paul Revere, and Pershing on the five, etc. Too confusing because one bill has one dead dude’s mug and the next one has somebody else? Too difficult to read the $1 in the corners?
