The characteristics I think that you should have to get onto money are, being respectful, kind, and a leader, you can be any race or gender. Here 's why I think Andrew Jackson should be on the twenty dollar bill. He grew up in a hard life, his mother had died and his father left. He had to fend for himself. He was selfless he helped the militia in a fight and when he was sick and tired. He gave up his horse and let a sick militia boy ride on the horse while he walked. He was determined, he never gave up. He also raised a child when he was older. These facts prove that Andrew Jackson should be on the twenty dollar bill because he lived a hard life at first.

Here is what I think, I don’t think Andrew Jackson should be on the twenty dollar bill. He is unstable, one moment he 's fighting and killing Indians then all of the sudden he 's taking their son in. He was racist, he had slaves. I know he had a hard life growing up but that’s no excuse to do the things he did. He treated people rudely, by having slaves and solving things by duels. If he would have solved things by talking and figuring things out and being more peaceful I would say yes, but he didn 't. He drove Indians out of their home and kept them in camps just like concentration camps, that were out in the weather and had very unsanitary
President Andrew Jackson does not deserve to be on the twenty dollar bill. Money is a major symbol that represents all countries around the world because every country wants to grow economically. Our money speaks on behalf of our country, the presidents on the bills are part of the United States history and the involvement of President Andrew Jackson is not a bright part of our history. Jackson did right in the eyes of our country when he was for the Monroe Doctrine telling other countries to let the U.S. be independent, but then he turns around and doesn’t let the Cherokee natives be independent themselves. The natives didn’t need to be forced off their land, they had the right to live there.
It is clear from the documents that Andrew Jackson acted like a king/tyrant. One reason that Andrew Jackson acted like a king was because he didn't listen to congress and he went against the U.S. Constitution. Document four stated that he sent soldiers to force Native Americans out of their homes at gunpoint and into stockades. After a few months of living in the stockades, the soldiers forced the Native Americans into the Indian territory called Oklahoma.
Though bills seem like ordinary rectangular pieces of paper, they amount to an incredible value of tens to thousands of monetary units that can be exchanged for exorbitant items. The ornate designs decorating the borders of each of the silk-paper pieces fabricate a beautiful composition of different artful conceptions; the most prominent of them being the large face centered in the middle of each dollar. With it being worth so much, you can imagine that having your face displayed on currency is one of the highest honors one can receive. This is exactly why Andrew Jackson should not be privileged to mark the face of a twenty dollar bill due to his creation of the spoils system, causing of the nullification crisis, and enforcing an unconstitutional
Jackson was a man of honor but was at times very cocky. He did many positive things to improve America, but his success was outweighed by his bad decisions as president. I do not think that Andrew Jackson should stay on our $20.00 bill. He was a general in the military.
I have mixed emotions about Andrew Jackson being removed from the 20-dollar bill. I’m not a fan of change and changing the face on currency is a big move for the United States of America. It seems almost ironic that the U.S. is switching the face of the 20-dollar bill from Andrew Jackson a former president who owned slaves in the early 1800s, to Harriet Tubman who was a slave in the 1800s and is well known for her involvement in the underground railroad. I will admit I think this is great progress for the United States of America as we continue to make small changes that can make a big difference.
Andrew Jackson should no longer represent our nation on the twenty-dollar bill. He was opposed to the idea on paper currency, so why is he on paper currency now? He wanted to continue to use silver and gold (“specie”) as a currency, and viewed paper currency as an abomination. Article 1, Section 10 states, “No State shall… make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts” (). Jackson and the founding fathers believed that paper currency was an opportunity for lazy scammers to defraud those who have worked hard.
Andrew Jackson, the slayer of 3,000 Native Americans, should not be on the $20 bill. He passed an Indian Removal Act and had many slaves. He was a harsh master to his slaves. Jackson fired utterly superb federal employees. Jackson was cruel for removing Indians for more farmland.
Andrew Jackson was inaugurated on March 4, 1829 as the seventh president of the United States of America. His inauguration was so joyous for the citizens that he was given the nickname "King Mob," due to the mad rush of people who stormed the White House to get a chance to shake his hand. Although Jackson's presidency lived up to its title, the "era of the common man," he also participated and led many unconstitutional acts during his reign. Due to these reasons, Jackson does not deserve to be on the twenty-dollar bill.
Is Andrew Jackson a hero or a villain? Throughout history Jackson has been viewed as both. Some see him as a war hero and the people’s president. Others see him as a racist and a political tyrant. To me, Andrew Jackson is more of a hero.
This next paragraph explain why people think he should not be on the twenty dollar bill. Andrew Jackson was a hot head who did stupid and outrageous things. Many people said he didn 't have a legislative personality. He would have duels without thinking rationally. When he was younger he would get drunk and get into trouble.
This is just one of the many examples of Jackson’s vetoes. While Jackson vetoed 12 bills in his time of presidency, other presidents at the time vetoed either none or no more than about 7. At the time, 12 vetoes was quite a lot compared to the other presidents. He had vetoes so many laws because he wanted to be the only person running the government. This is another example of his abuse of power.
Does Andrew Jackson Deserve to be on the 20-dollar bill? In my belief Andrew Jackson does not belong on the 20-dollar bill, due to the simple fact of that in 1836 Andrew Jackson tried over throwing the U.S national bank because he believed that hard currency like gold and sliver should be used. Andrew Jackson in some sense is an ironic placement on any paper currency in the United States. Although this topic is very controversial in the United States. I will try and clarify my belief about why Andrew Jacksons placement on the twenty dollar bill and why he should be reconsidered.
Andrew Jackson has been remembered as a ground breaking president, even being put on the $20. President Jackson was a controversial figure, doing many popular and unpopular things in his time. Although he is remembered as a hero from the war of 1812, he also caused the Trail of Tears and tried to destroy the National Bank. As a result, Jackson should not be put on the $20 bill. His actions have caused many misfortune showing that villains do exist.
The time has come to make a judgement of the great Andrew Jackson, the 7th president of the United States from 1829~1837. Although some people didn’t like Jackson very well due to very few of his decisions, he made many good decisions during his presidency. Andrew Jackson should be remembered as a hero of the common man due to his unifying leadership, generous approach of governing, and concern for economic equality. The first reason that Andrew Jackson should be remembered as a hero is because of his unifying leadership.
Born into a non-aristocratic poor family, somewhere in the Carolina’s on March 14, 1767, was a man named Andrew Jackson. Jackson, also called “Old Hickory” was a very bold proactive man in American history. From being a military hero and founding the democratic party to enacting the trail of tears and dismantling the of the Bank of the United States, the man and his legacy are a prominent topic for scholarly debate. Some believe he was a great president and some believe he was the worse president. But if you look at it from a moral perceptive or in the eyes of a foreigner, Jackson’s legacy was far more villainous than heroic.
