In the scopes trial, Thomas Scopes was tried in court because he tried to teach the theory of evolution in Tennessee. The state was highly religious at that time, so they did not want anyone to teach theory of creation that contradicted the Bible.
On the surface, this might be seen as a case that debated evolution and creationism. But, it actually much more than that. it actually will determine whether the State has the ability to suppress knowledge/ideas in order to promote a certain Agenda.
This case became a national debate and eventually the court prohibited the states to force the teaching of a certain religion in public schools.
Due to the rise of industrialism, the north was mostly comprised by factories. In addition, white men in the north were literate at a higher rate than men in the South. Men in the north tended to be businessmen, scientists, etc (i.e. professionals as opposed to plantation owners/farmers like in the south). The south had a higher rate of illiteracy than the north, and was deeply influenced by an economy that depended on slavery and agriculture to thrive.
