Question

about the trial in the newspaper the next day that the theory of evolution is all but fact. the man, clarence darrow, would go on to lose this trial, the famous scopes monkey trial (technically the state of tennessee v. john scopes). but what he had lost in the courts, he had won in the hearts and minds of the american people.
the trial was considered the trial of the century, but it was not the only \trial of the century\ that darrow was involved in during his illustrious career. in fact, he was involved in almost every major american trial of the early twentieth century and was likely the first lawyer in american history be a household name. even today darrow is largely considered the best american lawyer in history, and, in many ways, he embodies america itself. darrow was self - made, working hard to reach the pinnacle of the legal profession.
in 1857, darrow was born to an abolitionist father and a suffragist mother, who instilled progressive beliefs in their son. being against slavery and in favor of womens rights in the 1850s and 1860s was as progressive as you could get. after the panic of 1873, though, darrow decided he wanted to be financially independent. in chicago in the 1890s, darrow took a job as a lawyer for a railroad, a job that would make him among the wealthiest men in all of the midwest if he stuck to it.
