Summary

"On President's Day 2012, the Indian Country Media Network named Andrew Jackson the nation' s "worst president," claiming that, among other atrocities committed in the course of his career, Jackson during the Creek War had "recommended that troops systematically kill women and children after massacres to complete the extermination." One reader, commenting on that story, confided that "I can't touch a $20 bill without getting the creeps." Another agreed that "blatant bigotry and ruthless blood thirst rightfully earn him a top spot of the worst U.S. Presidents. It's a travesty that his face is on the $20 bill."--Provided by publisher
