Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

Apartheid means the separation of races for the benefit of one. In other words, they separate races so that one race can live better and get more benefits. This is exactly what was happening in Africa. Africans were being separated from the whites in their own country. They were also being mistreated and were being harmed by the government. This was all legal and it going against it was considered unlawful or insubordinate.
Nelson Mandela was one of the people who fought to eliminate the apartheid laws in Africa. He went to jail for opposing the law, but nevertheless he fought what he felt his people deserved and he helped a lot. Thanks to him Africa got rid of these laws and voted nelson Mandela as their first black president.
