Note for Harriet Tubman

Re Pat Buchanan’s April 24 column, Andrew Jackson got left out in the cold: Kudos, well said. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew needs to leave the $20 note alone and print either a $25 note or $75 note for Harriet Tubman.

Indeed, if not for Gen. Jackson’s amazing victory over Wellington’s British forces at New Orleans we just might not have an American currency and the ensuing debate over whose portrait should be on it.
