Descripción:

The Scopes Monkey Trial, formally known as The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes and conducted in 1925, was a landmark American legal case in Dayton, Tennessee, in which high school teacher John Scopes was accused of violating Tennessee's Butler Act, which prohibited the teaching of human evolution in Tennessee public schools. The trial became a national spectacle, pitting modernist forces, including noted lawyer Clarence Darrow, who defended Scopes, against fundamentalist forces, represented by William Jennings Bryan, highlighting a deep cultural divide over science, religion, and education in America.
