He uses that "what are you babbling about" when he knows he's wrong and doesn't want to admit it.

 I'm not wrong.  For those ignorant of history, thousands of union troops were killed before slavery ended.

No one said nobody died but you pretending all that happened up until the Civil War had nothing to do with ending slavery you are not even as smart as I think you are, never mind being how smart you think you are.

 The main thing that happened up to that point was Lincolns election.

Yes you are if you don't believe lot's of things led up to the Civil War. But now you'll just change the argument to make yourself feel superior.

 I never said otherwise, but the main one was Lincolns election.

There is NO DOUBT that Andrew Jackson--love him or hate him--did a LOT for this young nation as its 7th president.  

 

Tubman simply did not do as much.  That is simply a fact.

 

its a comparison between those two because one is replacing the other.

 And you ignore the fact that as a black woman she never had the opportunity to get elected president, and what she did do was great considering ALL the factors, and not just the obvious "he was a president".

But that wasn't even the discussion. You changed it to that just so you could be right. Lot's of people think she was a good choice but because YOU don't we must all just be wrong.

---

 Lots of people also think she was not a good choice and they should have picked someone else, and lots of people think it shouldn't have been changed.  

Just because YOU think it should be changed, then we must all be wrong.

 Well, too bad, so sad for you, because it is being changed.

 I never said what she did wasn't "great".  What I said was that it wasn't nearly as much as Jackson. 

---

 And you ignore that what she managed to do, she did while oppressed.  You have repeatedly belittled her accomplishments.

And since women were considered property (especially black women) with no right vote or anything else, they shouldn't have to have been president to get recognized as great accomplished Americans.

---

 She can be recognized as such--in some other fashion.

I think it's a way to honor a very brave woman and every other bill has a rich white mans face on it. Is it so bad that they change one to a woman?

 I like rich white men.

The only one out of all the people on this board who's arguing that it's a bad idea is you husker. So who are all these other people who think she was a bad choice?

 Open your eyes.  Donald trump is one.  There are many others speaking out in the media on this.

---

 Well, THAT says it all now.

 No.

It is in preparation for the 100th anniversary of women's right to vote.

That is why the target launch is 2020.

I gotta say, your opinion of women is shining bright on this thread.

There has been talk of changing the pictures on money for a long time.

This isn't new.

And yes, Harriet Tubman did a lot of good.

It isn't about who did more during that time.

It's about whIch woman will be honored for her achievements.

So get that male chauvinistic stick out of your butt.

Yeah, like almost wiping out a complete race of people.  We used to have to go to his house on field trips every other year or so.  It always bothered me that that was never addressed...

 He was a man of his time so I don't think I'll judge him with my own sensibilities. With all the anti-Americanism I'd still rather live here than any where else in the world. This is why honoring her is a good thing. She did what she thought was right in the only way she could.

 ????  Tubman was not involve in getting women the right to vote.  If that is the issue here--women like Susan B. Anthony would have been a much better choice.

However, your entire premise is BS.  It is absolutely a comparison--and there is none.  Jackson is many times more deserving, and has been since he appeared on the bill.

I could agree with that. I don't see how that applies in this instance however, because Harriet Tubman was a major player in the history of our nation.

I'd understand the outrage if they wanted to put Jane Smith of 123 Main Street, Anytown, Anystate on the bill.

 But comparatively, there is no doubt Jackson accomplished more.

AND $5!

America’s currency is a statement about who we are as a nation. Our modern money honors our history and celebrates our values. Building on tremendous feedback from Americans across our country about the theme of democracy, the Treasury Department will create new design concepts for the $20, $10, and $5 dollar notes.

The New $20

The front of the new $20 will feature the portrait of Harriet Tubman, whose life was dedicated to fighting for liberty. The reverse of the new $20 will depict the White House and an image of President Andrew Jackson.

READ THE STORY

The New $10

The new $10 will celebrate the history of the women’s suffrage movement, and feature images of Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth,Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Alice Paul, alongside the Treasury building. The front of the new $10 will retain the portrait of Alexander Hamilton.

READ THE STORY

The New $5

The new $5 will honor historic events that occurred at the Lincoln Memorial in service of our democracy, and will feature Martin Luther King, Jr., Marian Anderson, and Eleanor Roosevelt. The front of the new $5 will retain the portrait of President Lincoln.
