<p>[QUOTE="schwalbe, post: 710576, member: 18670"]I challenge every American to name one, just one, real accomplishment that Andrew Jackson(19th century ethnic cleanser of Native Americans) on the $20 did, or that Alexander Hamilton(more memorable for getting popped off by Aaron Burr) on the $10 did. US Grant, oh sure he was a general, but he was a miserable president that accomplished nothing during his presidency. Really only three individuals are worthy of such an esteemed honour of having their visages on our paper money, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Benjamin Franklin. All the others should be consigned to historical memory.[/QUOTE]</p><p> </p><p>Andrew Jackson-In 1835, Jackson managed to reduce the federal debt to only $33,733.05, the lowest it had been since the first fiscal year of 1791.[20] President Jackson is the only president in United States history to have paid off the national debt.oh yea, Jackson also had a son. An Indian, but he died at sixteen.Alexlander Hamilton- Helped found the U.S Mint (i think we all should be happy for that one)Grant was a civil war hero for the north. if it wasn't for him, the south could of won that war.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
