The Media's Impact on the Scopes Monkey Trial The 1920’s were a period of transition for America. The culture of society was quickly adapting to many new ideas and beliefs. Traditional schools of thought were gradually being replaced with new technology and knowledge. The changes taking place were the source of much conflict, as many historical events of the twenties can illustrate. One such event is the Scopes “Monkey” Trial. From our research we discovered that the trial pitted Modernists

This caused many religious fundamentalists to fight against it. They took their battle to the law books, and they were challenged by pro-evolution modernists in the Scopes "Monkey Trial" of 1925. The theory of Evolution was developed by Charles Darwin throughout his life and published in 1859 in a book called "The Origin of Species." In brief,

The idea of purposely defying the Butler Act in order to put it on trial originally came from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) (www.historynet.com). The ACLU had been searching, via newspaper ads, for a teacher to volunteer to go on trial when some of the townspeople of Dayton, Tennessee came together
the trial was played out on. The Butler Act is what made the Scopes trial possible. The Butler Act stated that it was prohibited for public schools in Tennessee from teaching evolution, or to go against the words of the Biblical story of creationism. The Act made it ‘unlawful for any teacher in in any of the Universities, Normals and all other public schools of the state which are supported in whole or in part by the public funds of the state, to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine

Women had just gained the right to vote, but in society the role of the woman had not changed much since the late eighteen hundreds. Women were still expected

In the town of Dayton in Tennessee, a high school biology teacher was found to be in violation of a recently passed law, the Butler Act, because he taught the theory of evolution in his classroom. The debate that ensued has yet to be resolved, what with the modification of creationism into the theory of intelligent
In the summer of 1925, the quaint little town of Dayton, Tennessee would become the stage for the event that would soon become known as the “trial of the century” (Moran 2). What began as a test case to challenge the recently passed Butler Bill by the Tennessean legislature would quickly become about so much more than anyone would have imagined, especially high school biology teacher John Thomas Scopes.

Frederick Parmenter and the guard were carrying $16,000 in payroll money for the South Braintree shoe factory on April 15, 1920. They were attacked, robbed, and shot.

since the biblical times. The first documented murder was between Cain and Abel. Although back in the biblical times, it was not recognized as a structured criminal justice system. Major Gade studied at University of Dayton School of Law had stated in his thesis, “Sin and crime were correlative. The law was divine, often with citations to the Bible. The courts were a secular arm of the church. Colonial criminal justice systems reaffirmed the community's religious aim and reflected popular culture”. Justice
