ALCU's Involvement
The ACLU was not a household name prior to the Scopes trial. When they saw that the butler bill had been passed, they immediately looked for someone to take it to court. After a while, they finally found John Scopes. When the trial was done, it was scored as a victory for science, and With the unexpected positive outcome of the trial, the ACLU finally gained enough merit to become a symbol for freedom in the U.S. (American).
