Andrew Jackson Riding Pig

Thomas Nast depicts a statue of President Andrew Jackson riding a pig, on a pedestal that reads, "To the victors belong the spoils." Jackson's "spoils system," in which loyal party members were rewarded with appointive offices, was attacked for its corrupt and fraudulent implications.
