The Life of A Reputation: The Public Memory of Ulysses S. GrantMannion, Richard G. 07 December 2012 (has links)
At the time of his death in 1885, Ulysses S. Grant was widely regarded by his contemporaries as one of the great Americans of his age. Along with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, his name was frequently included among the most accomplished heroes of the then still-young republic. Both nationally and internationally Grant was widely regarded as one of the world’s great military leaders. He was elected to the presidency of theUnited Statesduring one of the most divisive epochs in American history and won a decisive electoral victory to earn a second term. In his final years he embarked on a comprehensive world tour to great personal acclaim as well as the acknowledgement of this nation’s ascendancy as a world power. And literally hours before his death, he completed a literary work that stands today as one of the finest pieces of writing in American military history.
Yet today, the remembrance of U.S. Grant bears little resemblance to the one he enjoyed among his contemporaries. As noted in a recent biography of Grant, his reputation has fallen into “disrepair.” In current popular memory, mention of Grant’s name frequently invokes images of a drunk, a failed and corrupt presidency, and a “butcher” who gained victory inAmerica’s great Civil War only as a result of superior resources and manpower.
The intent of this study is to examine the evolution of Grant’s reputation from the American Civil War to recent times. It is intended to tell the story the storytellers told about Grant and how his reputation developed and was forged in popular memory. During his lifetime, this will include the study of a multitude of sources including newspaper accounts, political cartoons, diaries, and letters that reflected prevailing thought about Grant. In the years since his death, research will focus on those numerous factors that shape reputation. These will include delving into historical scholarship, literature, changing cultural nuances, political influences, and the wide range of popular entertainment vehicles so important in shaping public remembrance, to conclude with the suggestion that Grant’s reputation has been miscast in this nation’s popular memory.

The impact of child support grants on the community,with special reference to Fondwe village,Vhembe District,Limpopo Province.Mutshaeni, Fhedzisani Edgar. January 2009 (has links)
Thesis (MPA)--University of Limpopo, 2009. / The South African government should ensure that each and every South African has food to eat, as well as clothes and shelter. The existence of widespread poverty in South Africa led to Child Support Grants being introduced as a means of assisting in
poverty alleviation programmes. The South African government has also put poverty
alleviation on its priority list, yet there are many reasons that lead to poverty.The main aim of this study was to examine and describe the perceptions of grant recipients of FONDWE VILLAGE and their parents or guardians, focusing on advantages and disadvantages. The perceptions of the Social Development authorities through their agents, South African Social Security Agents (SASSA), about the impact of the grant were also examined.
Data were gathered by means of structured interviews. Interviews were utilized to
collect data in an effort to explore different facets of the study and to get a range of information. These interviews were used as the main method of data collection.
Questions in the interview schedule were pre-tested. Some participants in a pilot group were used to test the interview guide. The researcher compiled three different
interview schedules, namely:
• for young mothers, (grant recipients)
• for parents or guardians of grant recipient or young mothers, and
• for social and welfare authorities all with interview questions.
The findings show that most young mothers (recipients) know the purpose of the Child
Support Grant, but are often just ignorant, careless and selfish in their use of it.
The following recommendations were made:
• Grant recipients should, when their children’s age next birthday is 13 years, if
they are not themselves at school or in full-time employment, offer their
voluntary services at public institutions situated near them until their children
are no longer receiving the Child Support Grant. Such voluntary services may be offered for 3 work days in a week. The public institutions concerned can include schools, clinics, hospitals, tribal and government offices. This might also help them to acquire useful skills which might help them be more permanently employable.
• Rather than giving grant recipients money which they can spend on inappropriate things, vouchers should be introduced that enable the recipients to purchase only what is needed for children
• Parents or guardians should be led to see the importance of informing the
Social Development authorities of any Child Support Grant abuse. They should be assured that this would not in any way disadvantage the child/children in question, but would be very much to their benefit.
• Young mothers should also be encouraged to inform the Social Development Authorities of any difficulties they encounter due to their receiving the grant,such as pressure to share it with their spouses or boyfriends.
