In a well known novel, “Inherit the Wind” by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, these driving factors are apparent in comparison and contrast between two main characters, who have embraced their driving forces differently. Taking place in the small town of Hillsboro,…

Christianity was strictly believed by majority during the settings of the Scopes Trial and there was a general lack of evolutionists during that time because it was…
