Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

Apartheid is a segregation of people. Most of the time it was used to seperate non white [the colored] with white people. I believe it was a horrible thing because it was not only used to seperate people, but races, believes and way of life. It was mostly used in America at one point were the blacks where free but were still treated unequally because everything was seperate for them. Apartheid was also used before the African Independence, with one again the white [British people that stayed in Africa after most the British people left and the African people.

Nelson Mandela is a hero to the African people becasue of what he did. He freed the African people from Apartheid and got them out of British rule. He made it so that everyone in Africa had an equal opportunity, in a way of life and living. He pretty much abolished unfair workings in Africa once he got power. Authors of the site admire Nelson because of his life struggles [being put in jail for a large amount of time]. Also, because of his way of doing so, he didn't get this whole be war thing going, but did he somewhat like Gandhi did, the only difference is he did his politically. Anyway, he's an amazing man because he freed his country from unfair treating.
