That would then mean also removing George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who were both extremely instrumental in the creation of our country and its growth and survival in its early years.

Trying to rewrite history is never a good policy.   Washington, Jefferson, and Jackson were all great heroes to our country, and faithfully served it.   Our nation would not even exist if it had not been for Washington's self-sacrifice.   Jefferson greatly expanded our nation with the Louisiana Purchase, insuring its future.   And he did that despite overwhelming opposition to the treaty from fellow southerners, showing great political courage.  Jackson led as general of the military invasion that secured the state of Florida, and as President brought Texas into the Union too.  Besides defeating the British in the famous battle of New Orleans.
