A COUNTRY CHILDHOOD
Nelson Mendela had a poor and rough childhood. He, like most Natives, had little to nothing and went through very rough times. He had not even the luxery of pillows til his teens and where he lived was, horrible at best. He majorily supported his family and did all he could to maintain things throughout their tribe. But as a young boy he never truely thought about the apartheid until he grew older when he realized how much it really effected him.
Nelson tried to sieze and otherthrow key parts of the government in order to end the apartheid, it didn't work. He was sent to prison for his hostile actions to the government, but in his eyes, the only way he could end the apartheid.
