Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

Apartheid is a policy of segregation and an economic discrimination that is against non-European in South Africa. Nelson Mandela was known a hero for trying to set free of South Africa from the system that the Europeans have set upon. He was set in prison for 27 long years and he waited. After being set free, Nelson Mandela was seeing that the people wanted to follow him in his footsteps to freedom.

Mandela was making plans on how to liberate South Africa. Mandela became president of South Africa for his hard work on freeing the country and awarded with the Nobel prize. The South African Government were afraid if Mandela were to die in prison, then a black revolution would occur and it would be hard for them to handle so they let him go.
