The Scopes trial, formally listed as The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes, was a turning point for the teaching of evolution in schools. John Scopes purposefully incriminated himself to force an upturn on the Tennessee's Butler Act, which made it unlawful to teach human evolution in schools funded by the state.
