Should Andrew Jackson remain on $20 bill?
Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States. Though Andrew Jackson called himself as man of a “common man” there are many critical reasons for which he should be removed from the $20 bill, for many reasons including the Elections of 1824 and 1828, his creation of the spoils system, his opposition towards the National Bank, and the Indian Removal Act. He used his executive powers in prodigious amount and soon people started calling him as their “King”.
During the Election of 1824 Andrew Jackson was competing with Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams, and William Crawford. Andrew Jackson won the most popular votes but not the most Electoral College votes. The selection was made from the top three vote getters. Henry Clay came in fourth so he was out of the election. People said that the election between Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams was the fiercest election there ever was. John Quincy Adams had won this election but Andrew Jackson thought that Adam's victory was a “corrupt bargain” between him and Henry Clay so he promised to take his revenge in the 1828 election.
