You can't say always and start in the 1920's. John Brown is probably the most interesting figure from that perspective the 1840's. But I can't think of any older similar figures, in part because Christianity had remembered the religious wars, didn't want to fight them again, and fundamentalism didn't exist. Maybe the proslavery Baptists? I just don't know enough about their beliefs.
