Quote from: LaramieHirsch

President Obama and the elite that cheers him hate white people. They hate white people. To these people, everything that white people have ever done is pure evil and needs to be erased. Hence, our currency is going to have a bunch of black people on it now.

Literally, a bunch. I listened to the entire litany of the new images which will be on the backs of other bills as well.

For sure, two groups engineered this: Obama and his people on the one hand; radical feminists on the other. All the new images are militant females in American history.

What a sham. A sham that makes me ashamed.

Race war, culture war, and war against men.

Disgusting. My father is turning in his grave.

Quote from: Prayerful

Andrew Jackson shut down the Fed in between fighting and winning over 100 duels. This is likely why he was booted to the back of the bill. There was some musical, which saved Hamilton.

It's likely because he forced Native Americans out of their homes and onto present-day Oklahoma, known as the Trail of Tears because many died. Seen as a very bad thing in today's era.

President Jackson was a complex character.

Although he had petitioned the Mother Superior of a Catholic convent prior to the incredible victory at the Battle of New Orleans, he never converted to the Faith.

He fought the Indians in several battles, some where they had sided with the British. But he and his wife had adopted a Cherokee boy orphaned from one of the battles.

President Andrew Jackson's Message to Congress 'On Indian Removal' (1830)

Indian Removal Act

With the onset of westward expansion and increased contact with Indian tribes, President Jackson set the tone for his position on Indian affairs in his message to Congress on December 6, 1830. Jackson’s message justified the removal policy already established by the Indian Removal Act of May 28, 1830.

The Indian Removal Act was passed to open up for settlement those lands still held by Indians in states east of the Mississippi River, primarily Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, and others. Jackson declared that removal would “incalculably strengthen the southwestern frontier.” Clearing Alabama and Mississippi of their Indian populations, he said, would “enable those states to advance rapidly in population, wealth, and power.”

White inhabitants of Georgia were particularly anxious to have the Cherokees removed from the state because gold had been discovered on tribal lands. Violence was commonplace in Georgia, and in all likelihood, a portion of the tribe would have been decimated if they had not been removed.

Removal of the Indian tribes continued beyond Jackson’s tenure as President. The most infamous of the removals took place in 1838, two years after the end of Jackson’s final term, when the Cherokee Indians were forcibly removed by the military. Their journey west became known as the “Trail of Tears,” because of the thousands of deaths along the way.

They were to face military or settler assault which would have driven them out in a more violent way. That said, he should have accepted the judgement of the Supreme Court, or least given more aid to the peoples who were forcibly moved Jackson had an adopted Indian Lyncoya, whom Jackson hoped to eventually send to West Point. That did not prove possible and he died young of Tubercolosis. I suppose Obama wants to leave his mark.

American history is the story of the oppression of the Native American along with taking away their land.

I'm sorry, but the old sour puss looks like she'd just swallowed a mouth full of vinegar!

They'll probably find out she was a queer so they can have more to celebrate.

You don't have to apologize, Stub; that's nothing to be ashamed of! :rolleyes:

A friend told me Andrew Jackson is the only president to have achieved a balanced budget. (I have not verified that, though.)

You ought to order a few stacks of uncirculated $20 bills right now, with Jackson still on them! They might become collectible!! (And then again, maybe not, As Lumiere was wont to say)

Excellent video, Graham!

At minute 15:20 Bill Still says that January 8th, 1835, Jackson paid off the final installment on the National Debt, and he was the only President to ever do so.

The information from that point on is most instructive. If you only have a few minutes to watch it, I suggest starting at minute 15, and then it's only 4:16 duration.

The irony of a freed slave on the back of a fiat currency issued by a foreign, private entity made up of many Jew shareholders and presiding chairmen.

The irony of a freed slave on the back of a usurious, debt slave-creating currency. :stare:

That's not true. The federal government has had many periods of a balanced budget, as recently as 1999 to 2000 under Clinton.

What is true, however, is that 1835, under Jackson, is the only year in US history where the federal government was not in debt. However, Jackson permitted new debt to accrue in 1836.

Bill Clinton didn't balance the budget. :roll-laugh1:

I didn't say that Clinton balanced the budget. I said the budget was balanced under Clinton, which is true. In fiscal years 1999 and 2000, the federal government took in more money than it spent, which is a balanced budget.
