Do you think the passage of the Volstead Act and the ruling in the Scopes trial represented genuine triumphs for traditional values? Think About:
• changes in urban life in the 1920s
• the effects of Prohibition
• the legacy of the Scopes trial
The Government was trying to help the citizens through this huge national change. They put laws on drinking to stop the violence and corupption that came with it. They put the biologly teacher into trial to see if it would be the best for the nation to have the children learn of darwins Theroy or if they should stick to God. There were great changes during thsi time, so yes it was good for the government to be looking out for the nation, but they should not be doing it in a way in which the morals of the citizens would be effected.
