What was Andrew Jackson think about the civil war?

In 1828 Martin Van Buren formulated the commonly known "Tariff of Abominations" and this action has been argued to have the purpose of getting Andrew Jackson elected as President of the United States. Later that year, the Tariff successfully performed its purpose and Jackson was elected under a campaign promise that he would lower the Tariff. His Vice-President, John C. Calhoun (South Carolina), was also used for this same purpose and to "balance" the ticket. After Jackson proved he had no intentions on removing the Tariff a rift occurred between Calhoun and Jackson. Calhoun's home state was probably the most negatively affected by the Tariff and as a result Calhoun essentially did not function as Vice-President. Later in 1832 when a compromise Tariff bill was in question in Congress South Carolina decided that the best way to affect a change for their constituency was to call for "nullification" of the Tariff of Abominations. This crisis is commonly refereed to as the "Nullification Crisis" for this reason. Jackson was very authoritarian and did not agree with South Carolina's attempt to question Federal Authority. Jackson called the Army down to South Carolina to put down the "rebellion" as he perceived it. Fortunately the US Legislature was able to pass two bills ending the crisis and pleasing both sides. Though Jackson acted at times similar to a monarch, his actions during the Nullification Crisis have been called his shinning moment as President. If it had not been for him the American Civil War would have begun in 1832, not in 1861 under Lincoln's watch.

Who began the practice of replacing high-ranking members of the executive branch when a new president takes office?

Andrew Jackson replaced a large number of government workers. In those days, before the Civil Service Act, far more government positions were appointed by the President. Before Jackson, the lower level appointees were mostly left in place when the administration changed. so there was much protest from people who lost their jobs when Jackson replaced with his supporters. Nowadays, lower level jobs are protected by Civil Service.
