Yeah, amen to that, Mr. Smith.. President Andrew Jackson, the man that Trump so admires, was responsible for removing all of the indigenous people from the southeast and marching them to Oklahoma, known at that time as the Indian Territories. Perhaps as many as 100,000 people were removed so that their ancestral homelands could be converted to plantations. As many as 15,000 people died along the way.
When a slave "belonging" to Jackson ran away he did what all slave owners did. He placed ads in various newspapers describing the slave and offering a reward of $50.00 for the slaves capture and return. Benjamin Franklin made a small fortune carrying these ads in his newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette. Jackson, being an unusually cruel man, went further. In addition to the standard reward, he offered an additional reward if the slave had been whipped up to 300 lashings at an extra $10.00 per 100 lashings.
I don't know much about being whipped. But I assume Jackson paid extra to have a corpse returned to him. That's the person that America chose to honor on the $20 bill. There was a plan to replace him with a likeness of Harriet Tubman. That effort was killed by Donald Trump.
The biggest symbol of the confederacy is the US $20 bill. When the face of Jackson embellishing it is changed to someone else, I'll feel a tiny little glimmer of hope for the possibility of change.
