I don’t think that had to do with the restoration movements.

Possibly. I just looked at it from a historical era point of view (of course there is no theological similarity between any of these) -- 1800s to early 1900s. Why do you say it had nothing to do with the restoration movements? Seriously -- I would like to learn more from your point of view

When I think of the “fundamentalist movement” of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, I think of the theological issues of that time: darwinsim v. creationism, infallibility of scriptures, etc. This was about the time that the Presbyterian seminaries/churches and other mainline denoms I’m sure) began to be infected with liberalism. So to my understanding this was the first clash between liberal and conservative/orthodox theologians. A battle that continues today. William Jennings Bryan was a populist politician during that era and was also a prebyterian/fundamentalist who was an opponent of Darwinism. The only famous example of that era I can think of.
