Well, she is historically significant and I've heard of her. Did this Jackson do anything for freedom?

Absolutely. Despite what 3D says Jackson was an extremely significant president. Though reviled by those who don't appreciate Jackson's populism or his attitude towards a national banking system and his policies towards Native Americans would make him a war criminal by todays standards (but that's true of most of the U.S. Presidents who proceeded him).

Some of Jackson's most important accomplishments was that he was really the first modern U.S. President. He believed that the President represented all the people and was more than just an executive. He expanded Presidential powers, creating a stronger and more effective central government, he also was quite effective at eliminating corruption and limiting the power of machine politics at the national level. He was also the first U.S. President to pay off the government debt and balance the budget.

Jackson's most important contribution to Democracy in America was his response to the Nullification crisis. Jackson basically introduced a Bill into Congress that would have authorized him to use troops to force the State of South Carolina, or any State attempting to nullify federal law or seceding, to submit to the law. It was Jackson's most important contribution to the Republican form of Democracy as it established the precedent and law that States could not unilaterally nullify federal laws nor unilaterally secede from the Union. Amazingly, even though the principle of nullification was thoroughly rejected by U.S. legal jurisprudence almost 200 years ago there are those in the South who still argue it's validity and almost always make that argument when the courts have expanded the rights and liberties of some minority group. The fact that Jackson, the person responsible for discrediting nullification, was also a Southerner is also ironic.

I am just glad we got a 2 for 1 deal on our token minority representation for currency. A minority and a woman. BOOYA. Hopefully this will pacify everyone now.

Like it or not, the amount of influential women with regards to the history of the united states you could probably count on one hand. Men have been the juggernauts of our history and the pool for acceptable candidates for the male sex is very deep. I'm glad we can go back to business as usual. Tubman is what you get. Now no more whining.

Again, this is why you are still single, your attitude towards women. The only one who shows them more disdain for women on this forum is the racist, idiot, Taxi. He claims to be married, but I am highly suspect about his claim.

where are you getting disdain from? I am simply speaking the truth. I think anyone that thinks both women and men had an exact equal role in the founding of our country/being a cultural figure is delusional. I'm just talking numbers.

Did you just say that the Father of the Spoils System, and first president to have a major cabinet scandal worked toward reducing corruption in government? LOLZ

The Nullification Crisis is literally the only thing he was right about, and it's much easier to debunk nullification than even secession, itself.
 
I'm thrilled that a racist Democrat is being removed and a incredibly strong and dignified gun-toting Republican woman of color will be taking Jackson's place!

Women contributed more than history will ever give them credit, especially in a patriarchal society as was America in her beginning.

Did you ever hear of Mercy Warren? Most people haven't, but she was an influence on the Founding Fathers and played a part in the wording in the Constitution. Abigail Adams was also a prominent figure of her time, but history does not tell of us the extensive letters she wrote and the impact she had on our nation.

You should do a little research on the famous woman who had an impact on America. Margaret Brent, Mary Musgrove, Elizabeth Blackwell, Mary Baker Eddy, Clara Barton, Pocahontas, Sacajawea, the list goes on, but women could only do what they were allowed to by the restrictions place on them by men.

yes I am sure you can rattle off some names. But women will never have the number of scientists, inventors, cultural icons, leaders of industry, figures in music, art and literature, presidents, influential heads of state, that men do for the united states

this may very well be true. Doesn't change the fact that the resulting numbers are not 50/50. They are much much lower. Far more men have impacted the usa than women. That's just a fact of life.
 
Traitors put black people on their money first.

Be careful Grind.
Don't forget where men would be, without the support of women.

We would have to be making our own samwichs. :D
 
Seems Troll wants to credit Obama for anything and not give credit where credit is due.

In a call with reporters, Lew and Rios credited the outpouring of public response to the original plan and the call for suggestions.
