[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny seeing all these people saying yes, yes, yes to this. Most of you haven't heard of her before today. She might have been a great person and all but that fact is this just political correctness because of sex and skin color. Once again everyone's afraid to say it.[/quote]

Of course it is! Who remembers their 5th grade history class where we all learned of her?[/quote]

So what was her claim to fame? I do know Andy Jackson defeated the bloody British at the Battle of New Orleans and was a president of the United States.  [/quote]

Do you really not know? Maybe you should take a look at her Wikipedia page.

Harriet Tubman was born a slave, escaped, and then went back a dozen times (or more) to lead slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad. Then during the civil war she helped the union as a spy, and soldier I believe. She was an incredible woman.

Jackson on the other hand was a slave owner and the genius behind the trail of tears. I think it's fitting he be either taken off or moved to the back of the bill. Harriet Tubman earned her place in history. [/quote]
You didn't know either without looking at her wiki page. Did you know she was with the Republican Party and Jackson a democrat?[/quote]
