not only wrong but astrociously so. Some “primitive Baptist” churches in the early US were filled by Jews who fled the Spanish Inquisition in Spain. They came to the New world and found that these Baptist churches followed the bible and they related to the services. Even today most Bible churches are really Baptist. The emphasis is on bible teaching, not traditions of men. Baptists were never Anabaptist either, and they aren’t descended from Anglicans, Catholics or whatever, which is why they are known as “independent”. They follow scriptural teaching

...Some primitive Baptist churches in the early US were filled by Jews who fled the Spanish Inquisition in Spain. Hey, Unitarians would be welcome too!
If we disagree about something we will talk about it, but we won't burn them at the stake.

That's interesting --I've never read or heard anything like that before. Though, the early US dates from the 1600s and were mostly English, while the Inquisition was already fading by the late 1600s and was in Spain.

And, Baptists are descended from the teachigns of John Smyth -- John Smyth, a Fellow of Christs College in the Church of England, he became "Puritan, English Separatist, and then a Baptist Separatist," and ended his days working with the Mennonites (Leonard, Bill J. (2003). Baptist Ways: A History. Judson Press)
As a fourth generation group of Protestants, they moved further away from orthodoxy --> as we see how the first generation (Lutherans), differed from second generation (Calvinist) and third generation (Anabaptists, Unitarians etc). We see a further movement away from orthodoxy leading to the seventh generation Protestant groupings like Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, CHristian Scientists.
