Mandela started out as a revolutionary dedicated to peaceful resistance. After being met with violence by the South African government he advocated violence in return. He was eventually thrown in jail and given a life sentence. This is where he learned humility and how to reach out to those who were abusive to him and he saved his nation from a looming bloody civil war. The man will now become a legend. And it is well earned.
