When wars are fought the "spoils " are the lands taken and the resources taken.
Reformers opposed the spoils system because it was inefficient and unfair.
It is called a spoils system. The name comes from the phrase "to the victor belong the spoils," which was used by New York senator, William L. Marcy, to refer to Andrew Jackson's victory in 1828. Generally, the term has been used to characterize any situation in which a political party gives its voters government jobs in reward for voting in their favor after winning an election.

President Andrew Jackson came up with the idea of Spoils System and after the victory in 1828 elections he removed from service almost 10 percent of government officials to accommodate his supporters. This term has been derived from the phrase 'to the victor belongs the spoils'.
The Spoils System is the answer. Its name comes from the Roman saying "To the victors go the spoils." Andrew Jackson was the best known for this. It did not originate with him, though it has come to be associated with his name.
Andrew Jackson was elected president in 1828, which was not only known as a victory for him, but also a Victory for the Common Man.
Roman temples were built by architects and mason. They were funded by the spoils of war and their construction usually followed a victory in battle.
The difference is the source of the material. Spoils come from overburden and is discarded as waste. Tailings come from left over dredging of stream beds that are discarded as as waste as well.

Yes they did. The Romans valued victory and victorious military commanders were granted a triumph, which was a pompous and lavish parade in celebration of victory. The Romans also built triumphal arches in commemoration of victories. Victory in battle could bring great wealth in the form of the spoils of war. In antiquity when a city was besieged and seized, it was looted. All movable precious goods were taken: gold, silver, jewels, high value furniture and sometimes even statues and altars. Slaves were part of the booty, too. They were war captives who were then sold as slaves. Some victories brought immense loot and wealth. The Colosseum was funded with the spoils of the capture of Jerusalem. Trajan's forum was financed with the spoils of his victory over the Dacians.
The phrase "To the victor belong the spoils" means that the winner of a competition or conflict is entitled to the rewards or benefits of their victory. It is often used to emphasize the idea that success brings rewards and the winner gets to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
