Congress sought to pressure South Africa into dismantling its apartheid system through a series of legislative measures, most notably the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986. This law imposed economic sanctions, including restrictions on trade and investment, and called for the withdrawal of U.S. government support for South Africa. Additionally, Congress encouraged cultural and academic boycotts, aiming to isolate the apartheid regime internationally and increase domestic and global awareness of its human rights abuses. These actions were part of a broader anti-apartheid movement that sought to influence both public opinion and government policy.

How did congress try to pressure south Africa into changing its apartheid systemmmm?
Congress attempted to pressure South Africa to change its apartheid system primarily through economic sanctions and divestment measures. The Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986 imposed restrictions on trade, investment, and military assistance to South Africa, aiming to isolate the country economically and politically. Additionally, grassroots movements in the U.S. advocated for divestment from companies operating in South Africa, further increasing pressure on the apartheid regime. These efforts contributed to the international condemnation of apartheid and ultimately played a role in its dismantling.
