John Scopes for teaching Evolution
I'm assuming you mean the Scopes Trial, which took place in a small town of Tennessee in 1925.
The Scopes Trial, formally known as "The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes" took place in Dayton, Tennessee.
In the Scopes Trial!
John T. Raulston was the judge in the Scopes trial.
The Scopes Monkey Trial ended on July 21, 1925. Scopes was found guilty and ordered to pay a fine of $100. However, because of a technicality, the verdict was overturned. The official name of the trial was The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes.
There was a great deal of interest in the Scopes trial which took place in Tennessee in 1925. The trial dealt with the right to teach evolution in the public schools. Scopes was convicted on this charge and fined, but there was much ridicule towards the state for passing the law in the first place. The trial was a great embarrassment to the state and probably kept other fundamentalist states from passing similar laws.
Because John Scopes was teaching about the evolution of humans from apes (monkeys)
Dayton, Tennessee July 10 through July 21, 1925.
The Scopes trial refers to the "Scopes-Monkey" trial in which a high school Science teacher in Tennessee violated the Butler Act that made it unlawful to teach evolution in schools. He was found guilty.
