Do you think the passage of the Volstead Act and the ruling in the Scopes trial represented genuine triumphs for traditional values? Think About:
I believe that the Volstead Act was not accomplished and that the Scopes trial was a triumph for traditional values. I believe that the Volstead Act which is what made alcohol illegal was not triumph for traditional values because people just went and made their own alcohol in they're tubs that was toxic and ended up killing people.
Also having alcohol prohibited made it a thing that people wanted to do more because they we're not allowed.
I also believe that the Scopes trial, which made sure that teachers were unable to teach evolution in class, represented genuine triumphs for traditional values. I believe this because in the classroom teachers would start talking more about the Bible and religion.
