I'm fine without Jackson because
a) He was a Democrat
b) He presided over the "Trail of Tears", killing thousands of native Americans (Cherokee and others)

When you go back that far, "Democrat" and "Republican" is meaningless. How would Lincoln like Trump?

Lincoln would never be a Republican now.
Teddy Roosevelt would never be a Republican now.
Eisenhower would never be a Republican now.

John Kennedy would NEVER be a democrat now.

Harriet Tubman on the 20 is a travesty!

I'm curious why this is political correctness. Is it because she's black and female?

She risked her life and liberty repeatedly to save people. Is it political correctness to honor bravery and sacrifice?

I wasn't really thinking about politics when I posted this...democrat...republican...words that change meaning over time. I was thinking about a women being honored where tradition honors men. A real women not LADY LIBERTY. Only others I can think of were on coins...Susan B Anthony and Sacagawea..
