$20Bill

Do you wanna know why I think this man should be on the 20 dollar bill? His
name was Andrew Jackson. He was the one of the best presidents in America. He was a
Peoples President, was the hero of the Battle of New Orleans, and he extended the
voting rights for white males. Andrew Jackson should continue being the face of 20
dollar bill because he was considered and named, the Peoples President, was the
hero of the Battle of New Orleans, and he extended the voting rights for white males.

One reason I think he should be on the 20 dollar bill is because he was a

peoples president. According to
www.biography.com
Mr. Jackson believed in giving
the power to elect the president and vice president to the American people by
abolishing the Electoral College. Andrew Jackson first career choice was as an attorney,
but he soon learned that.

The second reason I think he should remain as the face on the 20 dollar bill is
that he was the hero of the battle of War of 1812 in New Orleans. According to
www.biography.com
, President Andrew was the hero of the war of 1812. In reading
about President Andrew Jackson, it seems that he lived a full life as a hero of the War
of 1812 after defeating the British; then becoming President of the United States due
to his popularity of the people.

Finally,Andrew Jackson should continue to be the face of the 20 dollar bill

because he expanded the voting rights for white men. According to
www.ushistory.org
,
in celebration of democracy, President Andrew Jackson gave voting rights to all white
men. After reading the article, it showed how Andrew Jackson legitimized the
Republican and Federalist parties even though the leaders in the earlier system felt
deeply suspicious that there would be corruption and the young republic would be
destroyed. Andrew Jackson dispelled the idea that poor people and those believed to
need an economic stake in society shouldnt be allowed to vote. The opposers felt that
these people couldnt be trusted to vote wisely.

Andrew Jackson, the peoples president, was a man who believed in people and
was regarded as one of the most influential U.S. presidents in history. He was one of
the most aggressive and controversial. His contribution to winning at war made him a
hero. He was the founder of the Democratic Party, and felt that everyone white man
should have the freedom and ability to vote responsibly. A lawyer by trade, he also
held positions in the U,S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate and appointed as a
circuit judge in Tennessee. He held the position of U.S. President for two terms, but
was the target of the first presidential assassination attempt in American history.
Andrew Jackson died at the age of 78 on June 8, 1845 from lead poisoning.
