Biblical literalism is an invention of the American South in the Missionary 2T, the term "fundamentalism" comes from a book called The Fundamentals published in the 1890s. That's what I find so ridiculous about so much discussion about religion both by the Christian Right and the "New Atheist" types, especially when the later seem to reduce all religion to American Evangelical Fundamentalist Protestantism.

The Fundamentals were published in 1910-1915.  This is part of the reason I see the 2T as later than the S&H dates.  Fundamentalism is a hugely important American religious development and should not be exclusively a 3T phenomenon IMO.
