Scopes Monkey Trial

-1926, Tennessee
-A war between Modernism and Traditionalism in the form of religion vs. science. Lawyer Clarence Darrow argued for Scopes, a teacher who dared teach evolution in his classroom, while Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan argued against him on the side of religious creationism.
-Darrow made Bryan look bad and Bryan dies four days later though he personally thinks he did well.
*Modernists take this as a victory. Traditionalists go under-ground until the 1980’s
