There are obvious reasons why Andrew Jackson shouldn’t be on the twenty dollar bill. There was the Indian Removal Act‚ the Trail of Tears‚ and he closed the National Bank. But‚ who should replace him? One western leader‚ President Ronald Reagan‚ above all others‚ demanded the Soviets to give up the Brezhney Doctrine and abandon the arms race‚ brought down the Berlin Wall‚ and ended the Cold War at the bargaining table and not on battlefield (2013‚ Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism).
