Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

Apartheid system is where the nation and all the national system is divided by race and color. In this system through 1948 to 1994, black, brown, Indians or any other non white people didn't have enough rights in society. They were always payed small amount of money even though its their country. But the white and the European people earned all the money of their country. After world war II, the people in these countries started to fight for their freedom. They no longer wanted to be ruled by these European country. they wanted their own country and wanted own nationality. Almost every country had their own strong leader. Nelson Mandela was one of them who fought for their own country among African nations. He was sent to jail for 27 years just because he was working against the government. Finally when he was released from jail, people of his country wanted to make him president and later when he was released, his people voted him leader of his country. Today his country works as an idle to show the fight against racism.
