Nelson Mandela took violent acts against the government. He fought and fought to get rid of all of the apartheid laws and policies. He was then sent to jail for those violent acts. He also founded ANC (African National Congress) youth league to help apartheid. This would make young people stand up against racism and the racist laws. He also wanted the young people to fight against apartheid. When he was in jail, many many people protested to get him out of there. Eventually the government gave in and said if he would stop fighting against apartheid he would be released. He said no to this. More protesting continued and eventually the government took his offer to work on ending apartheid. When he was released, he was released from 27 years in prison.. Also when he was in jail he had 3 kids and by the time he got out, all 3 where dead

He initially Believed in nonviolent resistance, but eventually decided that violent protest was necessary to end racial oppression (Apex answer) <---
