Jackson Jive

With the U.S. Treasury’s decision to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman, some are up in arms.

While Ms. Tubman was a slave who freed herself then dedicated her life to freeing other slaves, Andrew Jackson’s policies as President led to the deaths of countless American Indians. Or as I call them “Americans.”

Let’s see. A slave who freed herself and dedicated her life to the extremely dangerous practice of freeing other slaves in a time of rabid racism or a guy who ordered the deaths of countless Americans.

Man, this is a tough one!
