Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

Apartheid is just like Segregation, except the only difference is that instead of it being in America, it was in South Africa, not the whole country. Apartheid was a very serious issue and lasted from 1948 to 1994. It pretty much gave whites rights and prevented non-white people from having rights and experiencing freedom. Nelson Mendela is on of those people who would try to get freedom from the oppressors of his country. He tried doing violent revolts, only to cause himself to be put in jail for starting an uprising. There were many groups of people that would try to stop apartheid because they felt that it was wrong to be doing segregation to African people.
