The impact that the spoils system had on the US Government was not good. It came into effect after Andrew Jackson awarded government positions to his supporters in the election of 1828. Many important positions in the government were held by nobodies who had little or no experience it politics.

Answer:

The spoil system is a practice in which a political party, after winning an election, gives government positions to its supporters, in return for support in the election, and an incentive to continue working for the party, totally in opposition to a system that privileges the merit, having similarities with the patronage.  

The term derives from the phrase of the then senator William L. Marcy, "to the victor the spoils", referring to the victory of Democrat Andrew Jackson in the Election of 1828.  

When Andrew Jackson was elected president, many wealthy Americans held positions in government that until then were considered perpetual - once nominated by the president or Congress, were not replaced until his death or retirement. However, Jackson, after assuming the presidency, removed many of these government officials, replacing them with his followers; several historians believe Jackson has started the spoils system.

Which religion did Spain hope to spread in its American colonies?
lozanna [386]
Spain hoped to spread Catholicism in its American colonies. Spain was a very Catholic country at the time and remained very religious for centuries later. One of the main goals of colonization other than taking over and extracting the riches from the countries was to Christianize the population and convert them. This actually proved largely successful as an overwhelming majority of countries who were colonized by the Spanish identify as Catholic or a Christian denomination.

s2008m [1.1K]

The statements which are consequences are:

A. Machines could work at rates faster than human power ever allowed.  

E. It turned the wooded areas of Britain into great centers of industry.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The engine was used to pump water from mines. With the improvements made by James Watt in 1778, steam power immediately took off. The Watt steam engine dramatically improved the efficiency of the steam engines. His engines might be smaller, with much less coal being used.

The steam engine was integrated into the machinery and made the first true industrial machinery by eliminating wooded areas. Becoming able to provide movement and control by steam innovated the work of several industries, enabling them to avoid using the hectic time taken by manpower, which also created problems.
