Pot meet kettle.<br /><br />There are plenty of folks with legitimate beef over Andrew Jackson's near genocidal behavior and legacy. Then again, he adopted and raised, as his own, a three year old Creek boy left orphaned after the Battle of the Horseshoe Bend.<br /><br />People and history are complicated that way. You think you got it figured out and something pops up to surprise you and forces you to take a more nuanced look at the subject matter.<br /><br />Personally, I'd much rather see Andrew Jackson replaced on the $20 than Alexander Hamilton on the $10.

It's almost like an Onion story. No, it IS like an Onion story.<br /><br />Of all of our presidents, Andrew Jackson's coming of age most resembles that of some kid in the ghetto today. He grew up hard and was the subject of pissant condescension all of his life. I don't love some of the things he did, but I give him full credit for making the most of what he was given to work with.
