John scopes purposefully broke the law by teaching evolutionwhat was his goal?
Tennessee had passed a law in 1925 (the Butler Act) that forbade the teaching of any theory that would contradict the Christian Bible. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) convinced John Scopes (a high school science teacher) to intentionally break the law and risk arrest. He was, indeed, arrested (as he and the ACLU planned). He was defended by Clarence Darrow, while the state of Tennessee hired William Jennings Bryan, who had run for President three times. Both lawyers were famous and the trial was closely watched nationally. The trial was called the "Monkey Trial" since Scopes was teaching evolution (i.e. humans evolved from monkeys.) Darrow conceded that John Scopes broke the law, but argued the law was unconstitutional. He wanted to test the law on appeal, not convince the jury that Scopes didn't break it. Most observers believed Darrow did a better job than Bryan, as Darrow was able to make Bryan seem parochial and narrow-minded. As expected, Bryan won at trial, but on appeal the judgment was reversed on a technicality and the case was never retried. Bryan died a few days after the original verdict was handed down. The Butler Act remained on the books until the Warren Court struck it down in the 1960s for violating the Free Speech protection in the 1st Amendment.
The trial of John Scopes in 1925 centered on the issue of?
In 1925, John T. Scopes, a substitute biology teacher in Dayton, Tennessee, was tried and convicted on the charge of teaching evolutionary theory, in violation of state law (the Butler Act, which forbad public school instructors from teaching "any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of Man as taught in the Bible, and [teaches] instead that man had descended from a lower order of animals"). The trial crystallized several conflicts stemming from the interaction of American heritage with modern ideas and theories. Most important of these was a perceived conflict between the Christian faith, rooted in the teachings of the Bible, and the tenets of Darwinist evolutionary theory.

How did most Americans follow the Scopes trial?
The Scopes trial did not attract as much public interest as is imagined in retrospect. As the trial took place in 1925 in Dayton, Tennessee, anyone interested would likely have followed the trial by reading the accounts in the newspapers and from wire services. However, the trial holds the distinction of being the first legal proceeding to be carried on live radio. The Chicago radio station WGN was barely a year old, but arranged for a live broadcast of the trial (including the final day outside the court building). The coverage was coordinated by announcer Quinn Ryan. (see related link)

Who got arrested for teaching evolution in biology?
John Scopes, who was a biology teacher, was arrested in what came to be called the "Scopes Monkey Trial" in Dayton, TN 1925. There was a law in Tennessee that said evolution could not be taught, because it contradicted the Biblical account of human origins. Scopes challenged the law; he was among a number of teachers who believed that evolution should be taught in science classes, and Bible should be taught in religion classes. Because he violated the Tennessee law that forbade teaching about evolution, he was arrested. During a trial that was broadcast on radio and closely followed by millions of Americans on both sides of the issue, Scopes was found guilty and fined $100. John Scopes was a substitute teacher in enrolled in Law School. The ACLU approached him to purposely teach Darwin's evolution theory, in return they promised to pay all his education and legal bills. He agreed. What most people do not realize, is years later it was found out that the "monkey Man" theory was created from a "pig's" tooth. Not a Monkey tooth or bone but a grounded down pig's tooth.
