Andrew Jackson was the first to attract attention with his appointments. Earlier presidents also gave appointments to friends and supporters, but Jackson had a whole new set of supporters and replaced the old ones made by other presidents with his own.

A spoils system is when a president replaces people on government, and hire people that will agree with your political stands. AKA your friends, and so forth.
The spoils system flourished under President Andrew Jackson, who allowed the US government to become a collaboration among political cronies. Under the spoils system, minority parties are often ignored and kept powerless.
