How was the scopes trial more than just a simple debate between evolution and creationism

History
1 answer:
Vikentia [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

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.

Economic, political, and/or social causes of the Civil War Radical Republicans and their impact on Reconstruction the 13th, 14th
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The American Civil War was the outcome of several controversial socio economical issues but mainly the obdurated position of southern states to stop the slavement of black poeple as a source of cheap labor to finance their lifestyle; the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the US Constitution, known as the <em>"Civil War amendments"</em> due resulted at the end of the war and launched the <em>"Reconstruction period"</em> to basically provide and grant equal rights and citizenship to all people and <em>(including slaves and slave descendants)</em> born or naturalized in the country; but it was only until the Civil Rights Era around the 1950s and 1960s that really became effective, affairs such as<em> "Jim Crow laws"</em>, white supremacy organizations, multiple segregation policies and voter suppression mechanisms impeded the effectiveness of the Amandment for a long time. Slavery was a vast disagreement even amid the western states, which by the way were the result of another genocide and decades of abuse and violence against the Natives in order to impose the American-Anglo will and capture somebody else's natural resources to settle the American West, from military conquest going through the railroad development, land distribution and many restrictive immigration entitlement laws until these days.
