Evolution became a hot button issue in the 1920s due to the clash between scientific advancements and traditional religious beliefs. The Scopes Monkey Trial in 1925 brought national attention to the debate over the teaching of evolution in schools, sparking further public interest and controversy. Additionally, the rise of fundamentalism in religious communities contributed to the intensity of the debate.
One of the challenges to religious fundamentalism in the 1920s was the Scopes Monkey Trial, where the teaching of evolution in public schools clashed with the belief in creationism. This trial highlighted the tensions between science and religion and raised questions about the role of religion in education and society.

The trial was highly controversial, with many believing they were wrongly convicted due to their anarchist beliefs and immigrant status. Despite worldwide protests and appeals, Sacco and Vanzetti were executed in 1927.
