On July 10, 1925 in dayton Tennessee the Monkey Trial begins with Jone Thomas Scopes, a high school science teacher, accused of teaching evolution in violation of a Tennessee state law. The law made it a misdemeanor punishable by a fine to "teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower of animals." Scopes conspired with George Rappalyea to get charged with this violation. After his arrest they enlisted the aid of the ACLU to organize the defence
