You need to study history a little better, Charedi Judaism as practiced today comes from the 1700’s between the followers of the Baal Shem Tov and the Followers of Vilna Gaon
What are your sources for this?
If you are looking at recent history books and articles, I’d like to know what they are basing themselves on. There isn’t much in the way of Jewish literature from before chassidus, and most of what we have is seforim. And there is nobody alive who was there.
Generally, I think that these sort of historical observations are pretty suspect.
