Bryan remained active in a variety of causes, including peace, women's suffrage, prohibition, and Christian fundamentalism. In 1925, he served as an associate counsel in the trial of John Scopes, a Tennessee instructor accused of teaching evolution in a public school. Bryan took the stand and underwent a withering cross-examination by Clarence Darrow. Bryan's side won the case, but he became the subject of widespread ridicule. He died less than a week later.
William Jennings Bryan was not a deep or original thinker, but a sincerely dedicated public servant. He was one of the most prominent figures of his day, but his political appeal was too limited to allow him to become a successful presidential candidate. Many of the goals he failed to achieve – women's suffrage, a graduated federal income tax, prohibition, and the popular election of U.S. senators – would later be enacted into law.
