Not that it matters now, but the Hicksites were not a more fundamentalist group of Quakers. To the contrary, they did not believe that Jesus was the son of God, or the Trinity, or that the Bible was the word of God. They believed that all the individual needed to do was to follow the "Light Within" or conscience.
A more fundamentalist group of Quakers were the followers of Joseph Gurney, who got caught up in the Methodist Revival, and split from the quiet Quakers in 1845.
Not that any of this matters now, but I thought someone might think it was interesting.
