Andrew Jackson's portrait stands for the growth of democracy and the power of everyday American's. Andrew should be replaced on the twenty dollar bill after the limited edition series is over because of his actions towards Native Americans, African Americans, and women.This involves the patronage system/spoils system ( practice of hiring political supporters for government jobs) and the Indian removal. Therefore, he should be removed and known as " King Andrew I."

To start, some people liked Andrew Jackson because he created a democratic republic ( a government governed by the people) and gave some people the opportunities to vote and gain land. Others didn't like him because he gave political supporters jobs over experienced workers and gave white men who owned property/ an animal the right to vote. This excluded African Americans and women. He also took southern states from Native Americans by kicking them off their homeland.

In addition, andrew claimed that he didn't support the patronage system/spoils system. Instead he gave jobs to people who supported him while he was president. Andrew believed that jobs shouldn't be elected by the people, but every four terms.

To continu, during the Indian Removal several Indians tried to become civil by dressing like American's, building homes like them, and creating alphabet and a government.Still Indians were kicked off their southern territories. This was because whites wanted to move there. Afterward, Indian's were only allowed to leave with the clothes on their backs to a new state called Oklahoma. While they took their journey to Oklahoma 4,000 died of starvation and winter.

As a result, Andrew Jackson should be replaced on the twenty dollar bill because he caused a lost of jobs for experienced workers and deaths of many Indians. This shows he's not a "Champion of Democracy" but " King Andrew I" because he dictated the democracy. A democracy is supposed to be governed government by the people.
