Stonewall Jackson made his fortune with slaves and was well known for fighting American Indians. So he is not too popular in some circles. When they asked the treasury why Jackson was first put on the bill they did not have an answer. That seems hard to believe, doesn't it?

I will not shoot the messenger - HOWEVER, Andrew Jackson is the "dead President" on the $20 bill. He was the 7th President of the USA. He was, as you stated, very wealthy with his plantation and hundreds of slaves as well as an Indian fighter. Andrew Jackson died in 1845. The Civil War was not for about 20 more years.

Stonewall Jackson was a Southern general and second greatest only to Robert E. Lee. He was accidentally shot by a Confederate sentry and died in 1863.
