Honestly, keep Hamilton on the ten dollar bill. America should take Andrew Jackson off the twenty dollar bill. He caused the freaking Trail of Tears! Why is he still on the twenty?!

Hamilton is one of our most important early leaders. He set the basis for our government through his idea for and major contibution in the Federalist papers. He set up the coast guard and the treasury. He was active in securing foreign incvestments in our nation. He was active in educational development and had an exemplary college record. He fought for social equality and justice. Hamilton understood both the law and business. He wrote and spoke elegantly. He was a leader of good moral principles and family values. His genius and diligence was and is a shinning example of the American Dream come true. He does not get the recognition he deserves in grade school American History Text books. Look to AHA.Pamela
