Indeed, Fundamentalism is a 19th Century American heresy named for a set of pamphlets funded by an industrialist and published in 1910. The word, Fundamentalist, entered the dictionary in the 1950s.
Our Founders were not Fundamentalist because Fundamentalist Christianity didn't exist then. Indeed, if these same Founders were alive today, Right Wing Christians would be labeling them "false Christians" and denouncing them.
