Civil service system
Many countries have some kind of civil service system in place. People become employed by their government to do the many jobs of the government. An example is the administrative system giving stability to Chinese empires by using competitive exams to fill government offices.
U.S. civil service
The Civil War was not just a war between North and The South, it was a war between Democrat and Republican. Once the slaves were free, the Abolitionist movement came to an end.
While the Republican party was founded in 1854 as a single-issue movement - the abolition of slavery - by the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation it had only two things to fight for - full civil rights for Blacks and the spoils of victory, that is government jobs for party members to enforce the new laws.
