Baptists aren't Protestants?

[draw2much]

Going back to the original post: Are Baptist's Protestant?

Based on this and this link I would say that they are. This seems more realistic to me than what I read in the Trail of Tears.

What do others think of what I linked? Are they presenting historical facts truthfully? I've never much been interested in Baptist churches (even though I go to one...) so I never got deep into their history.

Historically Baptists are a Protestant schism, their main attempt being to place a great emphasis upon scripture. However just as many faiths do as they grow the Baptist Church has tried to shed its Protestant ties and become some-what freestanding.
Since this the Baptist church itself has seen numerous changes and schisms within itself.
As is always the case this is all very debatable as modern Christianity has become in most parts of the west so free that you no longer deal with a single idea rather a collection of many from numerous believers.
