The spoils system was created by Jackson. Basically, incoming officials into office would throw out former appointees and replace them with their friends. The main purpose for this was to ensure that when the party control changed, so did the administrators.

The spoils system is where a person who is elected gives government jobs to people who are friends, family, or supporters. Andrew Jackson's spoils system was chaotic, and he removed over 900 people to put his friends in place.
