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.

yarga [219]

Answer:

The Battle of Adwa (Tigrinya: ዓድዋ; Amharic: አድዋ; Italian Adua) was the climactic battle of the First Italo-Ethiopian War. Led by Emperor Menelik II, Ethiopian forces, with the aid of Russia and France, defeated an invading Italian force on 1 March 1896, near the town of Adwa in Tigray. The decisive victory thwarted the Kingdom of Italy's campaign to expand its colonial empire in the Horn of Africa and secured the Ethiopian Empire's sovereignty for another forty years. As the only African nation to successfully resist European conquest during the scramble for Africa, Ethiopia became a pre-eminent symbol of the pan-African movement and international opposition to colonialism, although Ethiopia was atypical. amongst African nations by being both Christian and possessing a written culture several centuries old by the time of the Italian invasion

By the end of the 19th century, European powers had carved up almost all of Africa after the Berlin Conference. Only Ethiopia, then still commonly known as Abyssinia and the Republic of Liberia still maintained their independence (Liberia being a settler nation supported by the United States). The newly unified Kingdom of Italy was a relative newcomer to the imperialist scramble for Africa. Two of its recently obtained African territories, Italian Eritrea and Italian Somaliland, bordered Ethiopia on the Horn of Africa. Italy sought to improve its position in Africa by conquering Ethiopia and joining it with its two territories. Menelik successfully pitted Italy against its European rivals while stockpiling advanced weapons to defend his empire against the Italians and British.

How did the constitution divide the North and South? How were they different?
nordsb [41]
The North didn’t believe in slavery and the south did. The constitution divided them because they both believed in different things. In the South there was more plantations so they needed slaves to keep up the production when the North was cold and didn’t need much help on plantations.
