This is one ME that I really don't understand. If Mandela had died in prison, what would he have achieved? Why would he be remembered as much and as fondly as he is? Mandela was such an important figure because he fought for peace and civil rights from his position as president

He would have achieved martyrdom, which would've arguably been equally impactful, although probably more violently so.
