$20 bill: The #JacksonianConsensus was powerful. It unleashed market capitalism by stealing #Indigenous property and celebrated a #MinimalState, and increased the capacity of that state to push the #frontier forward. A series of Jackson's successors united #slavers and #settlers under a banner of #freedom from restraints on slaving, dispossessing others, and restraints on moving west.
