Misfortune often contributes to the making of a man. In the cases of Andrew Jackson and Robert Matthews, this is especially true. Both men were orphaned at a young age and both took very different paths that made history. Andrew Jackson grew stronger and became an influential president. He brought the nation together after the Revolution and the War of 1812 and restored it to a state of economic stability. Robert Matthews created a cult-like religion and ruled over his “kingdom” with an iron fist. His religious kingdom crumbled quickly because of its ridiculous rules, shady practices, and unlawful deeds. The economic, cultural, and religious changes of the nineteenth century shaped the paths that both men took. Matthews handled these changes by seeking a new freedom and individual choice. Jackson handled the same changes by taking the opportunity they offered to become anything you could imagine. People in the nineteenth century were faced with economic, social, and religious changes and sought atonement, freedom, economic stability and prosperity. Matthias and Jackson both based their campaigns on these desires. Matthews and Jackson had two very different attitudes towards others and this determined their successes and failures.

In light of recent racial tensions and events that lead one to question the rights of their fellow man a debate has occurred. The American currency particularly the 20-dollar bill is being updated and a new face is required to illustrate the American spirit. The current face of the bill is Andrew Jackson a man who has indeed contributed to the legacy of the country. The proponents of changing the bill have their own champion, a woman named Harriet Tubman. They believe that she has contributed more and endangered herself more for the American people and therefore has a right to be on that bill. As a minority myself I understand the need for recognizing and demonstrating an appreciation for those who have sacrificed themselves against the yoke of tyranny and injustice a trademark of the American people.
