Answer:

Nelson Mandela was the first South African President to be elected in fully representative democratic elections. Prior to his presidency, Mandela was an anti-apartheid campaigner and leader of the African National Congress (ANC) and its armed wing, the Umkhonto we Sizwe. He was convicted of crimes committed when he led the fight against apartheid. For his part in these crimes, he spent 27 years in prison with many of these years spent on Robben Island.  

In South Africa and internationally, Mandela became a symbol of freedom and justice in his opposition to apartheid, while the apartheid government and countries that supported this system condemned Mandela and called him and his supporters communists and terrorists. Following his release from prison on February 11, 1990, his activism led to a multi-racial democracy in South Africa. Since the end of apartheid, even Mandela has received much praise from his former opponents.

Mandela received over a hundred different awards over four decades, including the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1993 and the Sakharov Prize in 1988.

Contrast the goals of radical republicans with those of more moderate republicans such as president lincoln.
Fantom [35]

Before the American Civil War in 1854, and until the end of the period known as Reconstruction, it was possible to distinguish a radical faction in the Republican Party of the United States, integrated by slavery and secessionism eradication encouragers,  opposed by a Conservative faction led by President Abraham Lincoln, and integrated by the anti-abolitionist and the anti-reconstruction Democratic Party.

The Radical Republicans sought to punish and destroy the political power of former slave owners, to establish civil rights for former slaves and the full implementation of emancipation, giving freed US slaves the right to vote. In contrast, the Moderate Republicans' goals promoted a modest position in order to bring the South back into the American Union as quickly as possible.
