Breaking the law is exactly what Nelson Mandela did in an attempt to bring about change. At first he tried to end Apartheid through peaceful negotiations, but when that failed, violence erupted. He was prosecuted and sentenced to prison for his actions. He served 24 years before being transferred to Victor Verster Prison, where he served an additional 3 years. In total, he served 27 years in prison. He did not give up, however, on his dream to end Apartheid in South Africa. After his release in the year 1990, he again took on a peaceful approach for ending this unfair system. After three long years of peaceful negotiations, Nelson Mandela finally achieved his goal and Apartheid ended. Now all South Africans, regardless of their race, could pledge their allegiance to a new integrated country and its first democratically elected president, Nelson Mandela.
