Yes Nelson Mandela did go to jail.

Because he was trying to fight his rights and his race.

He was sentenced to 27 years

nelson Mandela went to jail because he encouraged other people to fight against the apartheid in South Africa.

No, he went to jail because he refused to renounce violence.

He was offered a deal to renounce violence and go free but rejected that and so was imprisoned for his past crimes and murders. While in prison he continued to command the South African communist party military wing and approved the slaughter of dozens, maybe even hundreds of people. His favorite method of killing people was to have his gang of thugs drag the victim out of bed and place a tire filled with gasoline on the shoulders. Then the gas would be set on fire and the family of the victim would be forced to watch as the person was tortured and burned alive

In spite of his murderous and and violent nature he received worldwide acclaim.

According to the famous maxim "The ends justify the means"
