Question

I need help writing an essay on whether Andrew Jackson should or shouldn't be on the 20 dollar bill. Can anyone help me please?

Answer 1

In 1830, Jackson ignored a Supreme Court ruling to sign into law the Indian Removal Act, forcing native people to lands in the West, away from their homes east of the Mississippi river.

The reason: Gold.

Gold had been found on Cherokee land, and Jackson wanted it. The president’s excuse for removal – claiming the Cherokees had violated the constitution by declaring their own state without approval – was a smokescreen.
The native Americans were eventually forced to march 800 miles west. From the 47,000 southeastern Indians that were uprooted, it is estimated that 1 in 4 died from either exhaustion or starvation on what is now called The Trail of Tears. Jackson acquired more than one hundred million acres of land.

The Indian Removal Act was genocide.

Andrew Jackson should not be on the $20 bill I have many more reason but that’s the biggest.
