When Jackson was president, he fired 20% of
federal officials and put in his supporters that
helped him during the election of 1828. This
was known as the Spoils System. 

This was well known for the saying,"To the
victor belongs the spoil."

The meaning of the spoil system was to give
appointive jobs to loyal members of the party
in power
Jackson's Thoughts
He thought that many took their job for
granted

He wanted to get rid of them because
he thought that some of the federal
officials were corrupt before Jackson
was elected.

office would be able to reduce
corruption.

Thought this was good for the
democracy

Thought it was a great way to reward his
supporters of the 1828 elections.
