So what is the connection between the two, and why build statues commemorating Generals that not only lost a war, but lost a war that ended some 60- 100 years before they were built?

    The U.S. Treasury frequently changes bills to prevent counterfeit and we may be seeing a new face on the $20 bill. The previous person on the $20 bill, Andrew Jackson, will be replaced with the American icon and abolitionist Harriet Tubman in about 2030, but this change has sparked a debate on whether Andrew Jackson or Harriet Tubman should be on the $20 bill. Harriet Tubman should be the next face on the $20 bill because she was a very important person in American history and it is time to have a woman on a bill and Harriet Tubman is a perfect match.

During her early years as a child in slavery, she suffered more than an average person in their entire lifetime. As an adult, she risked her life almost every day to save others and after she died, she has received many awards, including her beating Andrew Jackson to be the face of the $20 bill.
