In discussions of whether there are double standards in religion when it comes to race, a controversial issue is whether white people use it as a tool to discriminate. While some argue that the Christian World in united between races, others contend that there is a racial divide within the Christian community. Of course, this is not a black and white issue. Both statements are generalizations of a large community of people. It’s impossible to say whether it is one way or the other, however, Baldwin does make an excellent point in saying that, “People, I felt, ought to love The Lord because they loved Him, and not because they were afraid of going to Hell.”

Scopes Trial What was the Scopes Trial? In the summer of 1925, John Scopes went to trial on grounds of teaching evolution, which was against the law in Dayton, TN. There were many factors involved to make this event so very publicly known.

Renters staged demonstrations and succeeded in influencing the City Hall to enact rent control laws. However, the landlords overturned this provision through lobbying and abolishing rent control through a statewide ballot (“The Massachusetts Condominium Conversion Statute, Chapter 527 of the Acts of 1983” 1). The rent wars dominated the state politics for over twenty-five years as opposing camps struggled to elect their sympathizers in political office (Brady 15). The current arson scenarios experienced in several states imply underhand dealings among property owners. Rent regulations deny landlords the liberty to charge market rates for their houses, which leads to diminished profit margins.

Missourians then began to flood Kansas, resulting in a pro-slavery majority in the territory legislature, resulting in Kansas becoming a legalized slave state. This outraged the Free states and caused them to elect their own delegates to the constitution convention in Topeka.

When this happened the pro slavery marshal assembled a large posse to arrest them.

He arrived at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on May 25, 1787, but decided to leave early due to the fact that he did not believe in adopting a federal Constitution and left on July 10, 1787. He did not believe in a strong central government and did not have a position in the new Federal Government. He was against any concession to the federal congress that might lessen the sovereignty of the states. He stated this all in a letter with John Langston that was written to Governor George Clinton of New York, stating the dangers of centralizing power and urging opposition to the adoption of the Constitution.

John Scopes influenced changed the teaching in our society's education. In schools today they can teach about evolution, but not about the Bible. In the mid-1930s, after the John Scopes Trial talk died down textbooks started teaching about evolution (Boundless 6). "The tension that gave the Scopes Trial worldwide recognition continues to rise questions some seventy-five years later, and these questions have no easy answers. We can be assured that in this new century the voices of the Scopes Trial will continue to be heard" (Hanson 108).

“Failures have been errors in judgement, not of intent,” said Ulysses S. Grant in his final state of union address as the 18th president of the United states. Ulysses S.
