Early fundamentalism was not very involved, politically, but Bryan was. Bryan was a political progressive who fought for the rights and dignity of working people. He played an important role in the ratification of four constitutional amdendments which he saw as helping create a more democratic and more righteous society: the progressive federal income tax, Prohibition, women's sufferage, and the direct election of senators. Bryan received the Democratic nomination for President three times, never getting much support outside of rural and southern areas. In 1912 his support for Woodrow Wilson helped the latter get the presidency, and Bryan was made Secretary of State. His unwavering commitment to pacifism, however, brought him into conflict with the administration due to the developing war in Europe, and he eventually had to resign.

Because he felt deeply about his religion and consistently defended the ordinary American, people called him "the Great Commoner." He had an active political career during his entire life, from a young lawyer entering the House of Representatives to the seasoned prosecuting attorney at the Scopes Trial, where the issue of whether evolution should be taught in school was argued in 1925. His controversial views gained him many supporters and critics. Can you think of people today who raise such controversy? page 1 of 3 Home Jump Back in Time Civil War (1860-1865) Bryan Site Map

45. American Experience | Monkey Trial | People & Events People Events william jennings bryan (18601925) william jennings bryan had won the case, but history would not look kindly on his last crusade. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/monkeytrial/peopleevents/p_bryan.html

William Jennings Bryan stepped off the train at Dayton in July of 1925, ready to fight for a "righteous cause." For thirty years the Great Commoner had been a progressive force in the Democratic Party. As a congressman from Lincoln, Nebraska, his eloquent "Cross of Gold" speech won him the first of three presidential nominations. He supported women's suffrage , championed the rights of farmers and laborers and believed passionately in majority rule. In 1921, when he was 61 years old, Bryan began a new campaign to ban the teaching of evolution in public schools. Many wondered if Bryan had given up his progressive ideals. Had his religious faith turned him against science, education and free speech ? Few understood his reasons for opposing evolution. As a young man, Bryan had been open-minded about the origins of man. But over the years he became convinced that Darwin's theory was responsible for much that was wrong with the modern world. "The Darwinian theory represents man as reaching his present perfection by the operation of the law of hate," Bryan said, "Evolution is the merciless law by which the strong crowd out and kill off the weak." He believed that the Bible countered this merciless law with "the law of love."

Before Woodrow Wilson became the standard bearer for the Democratic Party, that honor belonged to William Jennings Bryan, known both as "the Great Commoner" and the "Boy Orator of the Platte." Bryan's support of Wilson at the 1912 Democratic Convention broke a deadlock after 46 ballots and gave Wilson the presidential nomination. Born in Salem, Illinois in 1860, Bryan was imbued with both a fierce Protestant faith and a strong allegiance to the Democrats. Seeing no future in Illinois after his graduation from Union Law School in 1883, he moved to Nebraska. In 1890, Bryan ran for Congress as a Democrat and was elected. Bryan's skill as a speaker soon secured him the leadership of the "free-silver" Democrats as well, advocates of the free coinage of silver as a way to relieve crippling farm debt. Bryan's scathing denunciation of attempts by the "great cities" to impose a gold standard - his "Cross of Gold" speech at the Democratic convention in 1896 - is considered one of the greatest political speeches in American history. "You will not press down on the brow of labor this crown of thorns," he thundered to the wildly cheering crowd. "You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold." It gained Bryan the presidential nomination. He was only 36.

U.S. Capitol Works of Art The National Statuary Hall Collection William Jennings Bryan Given by Nebraska to the National Statuary Hall Collection Bronze by Rudulph Evans Given in 1937; located in National Statuary Hall. William Jennings Bryan, " The Great Commoner," was born in Salem, Illinois, on March 19, 1860. After attending public schools and Whipple Academy in Jacksonville, Illinois, he graduated in 1881 from Illinois College in Jacksonville, where he was president of the debating society, and in 1883 from the Union College of Law in Chicago. He practiced law in Jacksonville before moving to Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1887. There he continued his law practice and embarked upon a political career. He served from 1890 to 1894 in the U.S. House of Representatives. Defeated for a Senate seat, he became editor-in-chief of the Omaha World and was active on the Chautauqua lecture circuit. His economic views reflected the plight of the post-Civil War agrarian south and middle west. His fiery and eloquent support for the free coinage of silver at the Democratic Convention of 1896 won him the presidential nomination. In 1901 he established a newspaper, The Commoner , in Lincoln. He became a pivotal figure in Democratic party politics and was instrumental in obtaining the 1912 presidential nomination for Woodrow Wilson. As Wilson's secretary of state, he negotiated numerous treaties and used his political influences to carry administration measures through Congress. A pacifist, Bryan resigned before America entered the First World War. A deeply religious man, he was an attorney for the prosecution in the Scopes trial, a controversial evolution case.

Prepared by: D. L. Oetting Accepted: 8 September 1996 Last updated: 24 November 1996 Home US History Resource Desk Featured William Jennings Bryan, "Cross of Gold," 9 July 1896 Occasion: A speech given during the 1896 Democratic National Convention. It was Bryan's part of a convention-wide debate over monetary policy. A moderately well-known delegate before he gave the speech, Bryan went on to win the Democratic presidential nomination that year. Editorial note: Bracketed material is from the source copy. Cross of Gold "The humblest citizen in all the land, when clad in the armor of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error." Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: When this debate is concluded, a motion will be made to lay upon the table the resolution offered in commendation of the Administration, and also the resolution offered in condemnation of the Administration. We object to bringing this question down to the level of persons. The individual is but an atom; he is born, he acts, he dies; but principles are eternal; and this has been a contest over a principle. View off-site links for this era We do not come as individuals. As individuals we might have been glad to compliment the gentleman from New York [Senator Hill], but we know that the people for whom we speak would never be willing to put him in a position where he could thwart the will of the Democratic party. I say it was not a question of persons; it was a question of principle, and it is not with gladness, my friends, that we find ourselves brought into conflict with those who are now arrayed on the other side.

Encyclopedia Bryan, William Jennings Presidential Hopeful He practiced law at Jacksonville, Ill., and in 1887 he moved to Lincoln, Nebr. Bryan was a U.S. Representative from 1891 to 1895 but was defeated for the U.S. Senate in 1894. The next two years he spent as editor in chief of the Omaha World-Herald. Having ardently identified himself with the free silver forces in Congress, he became their most popular speaker in a preconvention drive to control the Democratic national convention at Chicago in 1896. Populist party also nominated him, but the conservative gold Democrats ran John M. Palmer. The chief issue of the campaign was Bryan's proposal for free and unlimited coinage of silver, which he thought would remedy the economic ills then plaguing farmers and industrial workers. He lost the bitterly fought contest to Republican William McKinley , whose campaign was skillfully managed by Marcus A. Hanna Bryan controlled the Democratic convention in 1900 and saved the silver plank from removal by Eastern gold factions, but he agreed to put the campaign emphasis on anti-imperialism.

In this contest brother has been arrayed against brother, father against son. the warmest ties of love, acquaintance and association have been disregarded; old leaders have been cast aside when they have refused to give expression to the sentiments of those whom they would lead, and new leaders have sprung up to give direction to the cause of truth. Thus has the contest been waged, and we have assembled here under as binding and solemn instructions as were ever imposed upon representatives of the people. ....

Search: Bryan, William Jennings (1860-1925) As leader of the Progressive cause in the Democratic party, three-time candidate for President of the United States, and Secretary of State in the cabinet of President Woodrow Wilson, Bryan was sustained by his faith in the "democracy of the heart." He was devoted to peace and arbitrated treaties with 30 countries under Wilson, but eventually resigned his position as Secretary of State for Wilson and his cabinet opposed treaties. He then threw himself into Prohibition, and his last crusade was the one that drew him directly into the fundamentalist movement, the effort to outlaw the teaching of evolution on the public schools of America. Bitter opposition to the teaching of evolution in public schools brought about the Scopes trial in 1925 in Dayton, Tennessee. Bryan was the prosecuting lawyer, and Clarence Darrow (1857-1938) defended John T. Scopes. Scopes lost the case, and several Southern legislatures passed laws banning the teaching of evolution in public schools. Five days after the trial Bryan passed away in his sleep.
