A Comparison Of Andrew Jackson's Migration To The United States Of America

112 Words1 Page

I have mixed emotions about Andrew Jackson being removed from the 20-dollar bill. I’m not a fan of change and changing the face on currency is a big move for the United States of America. It seems almost ironic that the U.S. is switching the face of the 20-dollar bill from Andrew Jackson a former president who owned slaves in the early 1800s, to Harriet Tubman who was a slave in the 1800s and is well known for her involvement in the underground railroad. I will admit I think this is great progress for the United States of America as we continue to make small changes that can make a big difference.
