When One becomes president of the united States...unfortunately mistakes will be made. After-all, you are taking a countries problems, its needs, its wants, etc, into your hands. There are some things that Jackson Could have done better, but in my opinion, its not what he did necessarily...but how he did it. All the things he's done that everyone has mentioned on the opposing side may sound wrong, however its how it was handled that was wrong. Jackson did what HE thought was best for the Country. I think i've made my point on that argument.

He wasn't just a hard worker he did so much more than that.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

He was selfish and cared for no one but him self and he hated Native Americans in which he showed this by forcing thousands of them to move.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?

So what person does belong on the $20 bill because i definitely can't think of a better choice.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

Those are two great reason why he should be on the 20 dollar bill he's done that he more.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

Jackson does not belong on the $20 bill because he was all of America's bad qualities wrapped up into a human being. He was power-hungry, controlling, stubborn, and violent. His methods of handling the nullification crisis were controlling and violent.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

Maybe. But, he also embodied what makes America great. He successfully defended our borders by defeating the British and he represented the people who elected him (to a fault, arguably). He made America feel strong and had a back bone, which is a quality many Americans wish our current politicians possessed.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

he may have defended our borders but not only him but his men defended our borders by defeating the british he is not hercules he did not defend it by himself why is his men not on money

Side: Yes

yes, he worked hard for out country and he did many great things. just like other people have said, he isn't the only president thats messed up a few times, they all have.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

Maybe it was violent, but he had to do what he had to do to make the people follow the tariff. He felt like it was good for his people.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

I supported this because they tell some really good logic to this I mean he was like a pig rude, stubborn, violent, hungry for money.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

Jackson's face should not be on the 20 dollar bill because people said he was man of the people but really meaning the white people which was really cruel.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

He was a man of the people. It doesn't say man of the "white" people. So how do you know he was against blacks?
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

It had many laws were black people couldn't vote or do much so really it was for the whites not the slaves.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

Not to be oppressing my own people or anything, but no one really cared for us back then, it was not only Jackson.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

back then black people were not treated well by anyone. it wasnt just him
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

But he could of did something to change that which was a bad act on his part.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

If he changed it he wouldn't be supported any longer by the vast majority of his supporters which came from the South and relied on slaves for their agrarian economy.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

Yes, exactly. He would of lost many supporters & it probably would of led to a bunch of mess.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

why would he do that? it was fine and legal back then. along with many other people, he didnt see a problem with it
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

It takes more than just one man to change the whole view on both indians and black people. If he did do something, it wouldn't of changed how people really thought and treated them. They just would have been forced to please the president, but what happens when the president isn't around? They'd just find ways around the law. Much like today. Jackson wouldn't be changing much.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

He did what was best for the majority not the minority because its better to protect 10 people than to only protect 1
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

He shouldn't be on the $20 dollar bill because he did not respect the decision made by the Court to allow the Native Americans to stay on their ancestral property
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

i understand that he shouldn't have disobeyed the court decisions, but Jackson had to expand the nation for agriculture purposes.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

If Jackson did not expand our land then the agricultural economy would have fallen because people were running out of room.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

Since the Louisiana Purchase there has been plenty of room to move and expand in the agricultural economy...Jackson just disliked the Native Americans.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

It's not Jackson's fault that the people he was representing did not like Native Americans, he just did what was best for the majority.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

There was a lot more land out there. He took the Indians' land when he could've just let them stay in their home in peace. He didn't have to make them move just because they were an inconvenience to him.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

He made them move because it gave the Americans land and more food so they were able to plant more crops.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

He did this because he thought it was best for the people and for the nations. We gained more land and more farming area for this.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

That makes him sound brave. That situation ended up helping the Americans.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

when south carolina made the ordinance of nullification jackson threatened them, and sent navy ships over and told them to shoot if it was necessary
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

To prevent them from leaving the union and to preserve the US in it's entirety.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

it was more of a warning, not just for sc but to any state that went against the country as a whole.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

That was the best way to do things considering the threats that South Carolina had of leaving the Union. They also threatened to nullify the laws that had been set for every individual state to follow.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

most of the things he did when he was president didn't benefit the US much but mostly hurt it
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

Jackson doesn't deserve to be on the 20 dollar bill, his presidency just made everything worst for the economy and government.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

but jackson strengthen the presidency and did what he could to help the US
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

It caused chaos in between the States. I know that it might had been good at some point, but it caused many effects that didn't need to happen if he would just compromise.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

But he stopped national debt at one point. So how would that be worst for the economy?
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

National debt might have been stopped, but it hurt the Southern part of the country terribly and it was unfair to many agricultural farmers and others in the south.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

So do you support slavery? You said it hurt the southern part of the country which was mainly agrarian farming land. If you do support southern farmers and southern citizens to have slavery then you should be Pro- Jackson as well. He did what he thought was the best.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

Like I have stated many times, You have to do whats best for the overall country.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

That could do nothing but help the economy. Now that we didn't have a national debt we felt more open to do things.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

It still caused sectionalism between states. The taxes and tariffs I know are helpful, but the didn't benefit all, only the Northerners. That's technically what started the Nullification Crisis, the Ordinance of Nullification and the uprising angry of South Carolina. (ignore this it is a copy of the other one, sorry)
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

It still caused sectionalism between states. The taxes and tariffs I know are helpful, but the didn't benefit all, only the Northerners. That's technically what started the Nullification Crisis, the Ordinance of Nullification and the uprising angry of South Carolina.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

But what about how we felt as a nation? Sectionalism separated the states which caused many to be misunderstood and "mistreated".
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

He didn't made things worse for the economy. He got rid of the national debt which made things better for the economy not worse. He made a stronger federal government which a lot of people didn't see as a bad thing.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

Okay I know that National Debt was a big thing, but all the taxes that were an affect of the operation hurt many farmers and not many Southerners benefited like the Northerners more and I know that it help, but what about the affect of sectionalism between the states?
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

But it was eventually gotten rid of and he was doing what he thought was best. It was eventually ended and the sectionalism was more then just tariffs. It was about slavery too and that wasn't something he could really control due to that was put in affect before he came into office so sectionalism isn't something you can blame on him. It had existed long before him.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

At the end the farmers gained. When more land was given from the Indians, the farmers had a place to farm so they benefitted.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

By not rechartering the National Bank and making pet banks, he made the economy better? The pet banks didn't have enough money to give to the businesses in order to support themselves. Also, his pet banks caused the value of money to depreciate.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

*worse and not true he gave people more jobs and he expanded our territory to help our American citizens
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

But it's not all about us, the American citizens, what about the indian's? What about the Cherokees that had to move from their homeland for Jackson's selfish need for gold?
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

He had to think about what was best for his country so not really selfish.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

How did he make things worse? He did good things too. He was a helper.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

Yea , he did things to better the economy. He tried to help his country.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

but he ended the national debt at one point. he did help the economy
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

Jackson held a steady position with our country during his presidency. Even though situations broke out and things went wrong, he helped a lot to maintain the well being of our country.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

But, he created a depression...and just left it for the next president to handle
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

That wasn't really his fault. He didn't have any more time to fix it.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

he paid the national debt, kept the union together if it wasn't for him the US would had fell apart
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

he should not be on the $20 bill do to the fact that he supported the indian removal act.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

So? He was trying to keep his people safe and out of danger!
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

Trying to keep people safe and out of danger? He killed people when he put the indian removal act in place. Many people died and even if they didn't die they suffered and lost their homes.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

When we think about historical figures, we should consider the society they lived in and were raised in. Saying people were "bad" because they owned slaves or wanted to remove Native Americans in the 1800s is like calling a person in India "stupid" because they don't speak English. People's knowledge and beliefs are a result of their upbringings and the society they live in. Right and wrong aren't always clear cut, especially in a historical lens.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

He voted with the popular vote. He wanted to make 100 people happy rather than just 10. He did what most the people wanted.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

he was keeping people safe by kill other people of which some we had treaties with.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

America needed this land he took from the Indians for farming, because more land meant more food and less hungry people. He was just doing what he needed to do for his country.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

yes so that we will have slavery on that land and have the slave owners starve the slaves and we get food. the land was being cleared so that they could have more slave land
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

He was trying to give the American citizens more opportunity to spread out and make our country better
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

What about sectionalism? It hurt us, because the more we grew in territory the more sectionalism there was. The equaling amount of slave states and free states had to be watched. Plus when a new state came they had to decide, but they also had to get another state to be the other, which made it harder for the states to compromise when it came to the slavery issue. Extending our territory made it harder for the natives as well, an example would be the trail of tears where many cherokees died moving away from their homeland.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

Jackson does not deserve to be on the $20 bill because he wasn't what the people needed. He didn't represent their thinking, which is what he should've be doing as president. Instead, he just did whatever he wanted to do.
