The Scopes Trial, also known as the "Monkey Trial," highlighted the cultural clash between modernism and traditionalism by pitting the teaching of evolution (modernism) against the biblical creation story (traditionalism). The trial became a national spectacle, symbolizing the broader conflict between scientific progress and religious conservatism in American society.
