The Roaring 20s: Conflicts Over Values

Conflicts Over Values The clash of urban and rural people values Rural people represented traditional values hard work, self-reliant, independent, religious Urban people represented changes that threatened those values

The Rise of Fundamentalism In changing times, many Americans turned to religion Christianity criticized 1920s changes Their beliefs were based on a literal interpretation of the Bible -this is called “fundamentalism” -this belief says that events happened in the Bible exactly like they are told

The Scopes Trial Fundamentalism conflicted with science In the 1800s, Charles Darwin created the idea of evolution organisms evolve from simpler life forms said that humans may have evolved from an ape-like species conflicted with Christian teachings that God created people Fundamentalists worked hard to make sure evolution was not taught in schools

The Scopes Trial Tenn. 1925, a law forbade evolution to be taught John Scopes, a teacher taught evolution anyway because it was in the TN textbook He was taken to trial Scope’s lawyer was Clarence Darrow William Jennings Bryan led the prosecution Trial not about whether or not Scopes broke the law (he obviously did) It was about which was right, evolution or creation?! Called the Scopes Monkey Trial

Bryan didn’t defend the Bible very well The trial ended with John Scopes being convicted and fined $100 He never had to pay, and evolution continued to be taught
