Guess you can't give any documentary evidence for your claim.

Nope, you can't.

Why? Because you are dead wrong.

Darwin could not have observed "bible belt fundamentalists" for
several reasons, but most obvious is that "Fundamentalism" wasn't even
born until 1910 (http://religiousmovements.lib.virginia.edu/nrms/fund.html)

But if you could even show one documentary piece of evidence that
Darwin's thought was at all colored by his observations of the
Confederacy or the KKK, I will concede the point.

Otherwise, you're as good as the evidence you've presented: nothing.
