The Red Scare
Shortly after the end of World War I and the
Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the Red Scare
took hold in the United States.  A nationwide
fear of communists, socialists, anarchists, and
other dissidents suddenly grabbed the American
psyche in 1919 following a series of anarchist
bombings.  The nation was gripped in fear. 
Innocent people were jailed for expressing their
views, civil liberties were ignored, and many
Americans feared that a Bolshevik-style
revolution was at hand. Then, in the early 1920s,
the fear seemed to dissipate just as quickly as
it had begun, and the Red Scare was over.

Scopes Monkey Trial
Journalists were looking for a showdown, and they
found one in a Dayton, Tennessee courtroom in the
summer of 1925. There a jury was to decide the
fate of John Scopes, a high school biology
teacher charged with illegally teaching the
theory of evolution. The guilt or innocence of
John Scopes, and even the constitutionality of
Tennessee's anti-evolution statute, mattered
little.
