Right, I understand that, although I don't quite think it would be accurate to say either were liberal in the sense the term is used today. And aside from slavery, Republicans weren't necessarily more liberal even in the sense of the different times. But what you put in the category of liberal causes were causes that many people you would probably consider conservative minded had.
