Evangelicals decided that they were quite literally at war with people that didn't hold their same beliefs. Honestly the blending of modern day conservatism and "Christianity" is very weird unless you understand that modern day "Christianity" is about subjugating people by force.

There are still Peace Churches in rural PA that take in displaced refugees that have fallen on hard times as the right wing Evangelical strains have grown dominant. It’s very sad.https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/24/us/syrian-refugees.amp.html?referringSource=articleShare …

I would guess that the World Wars were a huge factor, especially WWII. WWII required such enormous mobilization. I can imagine pacifists being marginalized in that culture. Plus, non-pacifists had a *very* plausible argument that world events made war a necessary evil.

The authority of the mainstream churches the pacifists represented has diminished. We're in the age of a reformation on steroids. Christian nationalism is a symptom of mainstream corruption.

By the by: "In the 1940s, the [Americans] invited [Donald Coxeter] to serve as a code breaker... but being a Quaker and a pacifist he declined. (In 1997 Coxeter...marched a petition to the president's office at U of T to protest an honorary degree conferred on George Bush Sr. )"
