Why do Americans choose them to live with them day and night? Who the hell are they?
I think Americans choose them because they are the people who can best represent the American spirit and values.
Needless to say, George Washington is regarded as the father of America. It was under his leadership that the United States successfully became independent from the colonies. Without him, there would be no America. As the president of the United States, he is a symbol of American independence.
Thomas Jefferson, the drafter of the Declaration of Independence, is known as "the messenger of freedom". The idea of freedom he represents is not only the foundation of the United States, but also widely recognized by the whole world.
Abraham lincoln is called "the great liberator". Of all Americans, he is the only one who is praised by almost everyone, whether American or not. He represents the basic values of "all men are created equal" in America.
Alexander hamilton, one of the founders of the United States, was a politician and diplomat. The policies he implemented made America rich and strong. He attaches great importance to personal property and believes that private property is sacred and inviolable. He is the representative of American individualism.
Andrew jackson, the first elected president of the United States, was born in the west. During his tenure, he made the American government establish an image of being close to the people. His behavior of being close to the people changed the democratic model of the United States and created a new democracy. A new word "Jackson democracy" has been added to the American dictionary. He is a legend and has a far-reaching influence on American politics. The dream that "everyone can be president" began with him.
Hiram grant, an ever-victorious general, graduated from West Point Military Academy, and the American Civil War ended in his hands. With outstanding military exploits, he was successfully elected president. He is an American hero, he stopped the division, and he is the representative of American martial spirit.
Benjamin Franklin, he has a series of titles-writer, inventor, publisher, scientist and diplomat. Some people say that he is a celebrity in the18th century, second only to Washington. Franklin's autobiography is a household name. He has no distinguished family background and rich life. He succeeded in various fields only by his piety to religion, his attention to education, his simple life and his indomitable struggle. He is an outstanding representative of American Puritanism.
Other people on the dollar:
500 dollars, william mckinley.
William mckinley, the 25th president of the United States, won the "Spanish-American War" during his term of office, from which the United States began its hegemony over the world. McKinley fully embodies the self-value judgment that the United States regards itself as the "voter" of God and "has the responsibility to save all the people in the world".
Griff Grover Cleveland 1000 USD.
Cleveland and Grave, as one of the few truly honest and principled people in the "Gilded Age". But as president, he failed to solve the country's economic problems.
$5,000, james madison
James madison, one of the founding fathers of the United States, can be said to be the "father of the American Constitution". It was at his initiative that the Bill of Rights, the first ten constitutional amendments in the United States, came into being. Don't underestimate the American Civil Rights Act, which guarantees the rights of individuals. Crucially, it limits the power of the federal and state governments, which is very important to the United States. He is the representative of American "small government" spirit. Take a look at his words:
"If people are angels, they don't need the government. If angels want to rule mankind, then external and internal control of the government is unnecessary. To establish a government managed by people instead of people, the biggest difficulty lies in: you must first enable the government to control the ruled; Secondly, force it to control itself. "
10000 USD, Salmon Chase.
As a politician who advocated the abolition of slavery, Salmon P Chase was not famous, and only became known after he became President Lincoln's finance minister. His choice seems a little reluctant. The United States began to print heads on banknotes from 1862, and Chase was responsible for designing these banknotes. In order to expand his political influence, his head appeared on paper money and on paper money of different denominations. Later generations printed him on 10000 dollars to commemorate his contribution to the modern paper money system, but this kind of paper money is no longer in circulation.
