Google "Trail of Tears".

I did not read all of wiki Renee, but I read enough to understand what you meant..



Thank you for educating me about that Renee.

A lot of native Americans won't even touch a $20 bill because Andrew Jackson's image is on it.

Very interesting, thank you Renee.

I don't like Andrew Jackson on it, but none of the ones listed other than Elanor Roosevelt should be on there.

She was just about a President for a term, FDR was bad off most of his last term.

US legislation states that only dead presidents may appear on currency.

Ben Franklin is an exception, Susan B, Sacajawea, a Buffalo, Indians, Angels, Eagles, and many other things have been on our money.

Oh, is that why Ben Franklin appears on the $5 bill and Dr Franklin was president when?????



STFU, Mel. Nobody wants to hear you. Stick to what you know and that's driving a bucket of rocks from point "A" to point "B" without getting pulled over for DUI.

Isn't Abe Lincoln on the five?

Anyhow, Franklin was one of the founding fathers of the US, and is referred to as the first actual "American," so I'm sure none would dispute his 'worthiness' of adorning certain currency, which he currently does.  (He's on $100 bills, by the way)...

I stand corrected, Franklin is on the $100.00.



Buy by law, a dead president is not the only person that can grace the face of a bill. Any deceased American of significant historical note can be nominated and approved to appear on the face of US money.

This should make the Cherokee Indians happy. ac_rollseyes

I wish I understood that sarcasm Renee.

The irony is the Cherokee was betrayed by Jackson, and the US government when he took office.

Jackson had the Cherokee fight with him in the was against the Brits promising them land, and other stuff.

When he took office people complained because the Cherokee was taking business away from them since they did so well.

They discriminated against them, did bad things to them, and Jackson took measures by rounding them all up, and making them walk hundreds of mils west.

Maybe 4000 died.



The Cherokee was getting more successful than their white counterparts much like Jews did in Europe, people are scared of that for some reason.

To me it says work harder to catch up, and move on, be happy for them. Many blacks cry now because they want equality, it's there if they work hard, and quit blaming someone else.
