He believed that no special talent was needed to government jobs, so why not put in people that had helped him get elected. What was different was the huge extent of his turnover and the party partisanship of his appointees. Past Presidents had replaced key positions but left in tact the majority of low level employees. Jackson cleaned house, so to speak, and used his men for the replacements.
