  7. RED SCARE SUMMARY In 1919, many people in the United Statesfeared a communist revolution like the one in Russia. This caused a widespreadfear of political radicals, especially Communists, also known as Reds. Immigrants, laborers and unions were often accused of being Red.

  8. 2. The Red Scare • Causes: fear of Communist revolution in U.S. • What Happened: A. Mitchell Palmer raided “radicals;” immigrants deported • Effects: ACLU felt it hurt civil liberties “Put them out and keep them out!”

  10. The Scopes Trial Strip Story • Your table will be given a series of strips from a story about the Scopes Trial. • Read the strips as a table. • Try to place them in the correct order! • You have 3 minutes to do this task.

  11. Answer Key • By1925, Tennessee and other southern states had passed laws prohibiting the teaching of evolution. • The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) was concerned these laws violated people’s constitutional rights. • The ACLU decided to challenge the law that banned evolution from schools by finding a teacher to teach it. • The ACLU found John T. Scopes, a 24 year old science teacher in Dayton, Tennessee, willing to test the Tennessee evolution law. • After purposefully teaching evolution, Scopes was arrested and put on trial. • William Jennings Bryan, a Fundamentalist, was chosen to be the prosecutor in the trial, Clarence Darrow, a prominent attorney, was chosen to defend Scopes. • During the trial, Darrow called Bryan to the stand to question him on biblical beliefs. He succeeded in making Bryan look foolish. • Despite Darrow’s success in the trial, Scopes was found guilty and fined $100. Although the law was rarely enforced it remained on the books until 1967.
