It started with peaceful protests and strike while it eventually lead to armed conflicts. In 1960, police shot many people who were affiliated with the  ANC and the Pan-African Congress (branch of the ANC). This event would cause even more tension between the nation.

Nelson then spent 27 years in prison because of this armed sabotage against the government. Banished to Robben Island, Mandela began to fit into jail life and read plenty books like shakespeare. Mandela also went to different prisons like Pollsmoor and Victor Verster prisons. The Prison life was harsh and changed Mandela.
