<p>[QUOTE="KSorbo, post: 3552676, member: 56370"]Going back to the original topic, I would love to see Harriet Tubman on a $20 bill. She not only rescued slaves through the Underground Railroad but was also a Union spy and scout who was the first woman to lead an armed expedition during the Civil War. She did all of that despite a debilitating head injury that she received when a slave owner threw a metal weight at her. Definitely an American who we should all be proud of regardless of political persuasion. </p><p><br /></p><p>Andrew Jackson’s influence on our country was significant and I generally prefer to avoid rigidly holding historical figures to our current political norms. History is messy, and the arguments around that are beyond the scope of this forum. But Harriet Tubman was also significant. The best option may be to feature different people on our currency every few years. That would promote both historical awareness and pride in the great things that Americans have accomplished.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
