This doesn't bother me that much. I'm too lazy, and short on time, to write a thorough post but Andrew Jackson just isn't a president you want as a symbol of the nation. Yes, he was a bad-ass, but also an a-hole. He was polarizing among his contemporaries and led the way in efforts that don't paint a good legacy for our nation, in my opinion. That doesn't make me hate the guy, a lot of great men through history were ass-holes. I'm kind of an a-hole. I'm not going to stand up for him out of loyalty that I don't have towards him, because I think the symbol on our currency should represent a virtuous, American value.
He was a bad ass general though.
