He was a republican but i don't look at someones party to define them. He might be considered a conservative because of how he preserved the Union. He might also be considered a liberal because of the Emancipation Proclamation. What do you think?
Conservative means the maintenance of traditional institutions and supports, at the most, minimal and gradual change in society, and Liberal means individual liberty and equal rights. Both are good and bad. Which is Lincoln more like?
