And in as much as god supported slavery, had innocent children killed, and encouraged raping women, I think removing "In god we trust" from our currency is long overdue.
I like that idea.
Andrew Jackson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One thing to notice here is that Andrew Jackson is not at all unusual from other leaders at that time with respect to natives. No, he is representative of the better ones. Like it or not, he represents a chunk of our history. If you remove him from the money you will just be whitewashing History. You may just as well remove Washington and Lincoln.
Andrew Jackson presided over a much smaller and recently colonial federal government. He was considered to be a 'Humane slave owner', which means that he represents some of the best of what our gentry was like at that time. There's no point in denying it. He helped found the state of Tennessee. His victories in the war of 1812 added popularity to his legal skills. His first war with tribal native Americans was the Seminole War, serving under president Monroe. The idea of relocating native tribes was not his but was already popular. It appealed to him and was popular, so he adopted it. Note that it was a popular initiative, favored by John Adams and many others.
In fact, just about every president on our money is in some way responsible for a lot of deaths.

Oh Hell, the liberal propaganda machine at work again.
What is ironic is that Andrew Jackson and his supporters helped found the Democratic Party.
