We don't know what kind of nation Lincoln would have tried to create had he lived, All indications are, however, that Lincoln was people oriented, one that was concerned about their way of life, was it good or bad and could it be better. We also know that during Grant's term some Republicans formed a liberal Republican group but they didn't last long.The Republicans quickly destroyed Lincoln's Republican party and replaced it with a conservative party. Was Lincoln a liberal?
This is just sheer idiocy. Did you "learn" this from a left-wing blog or something?
Lincoln was very much a conservative. The first real modern liberal president was Woodrow Wilson, one of the most racist presidents in history and a Democrat.
He certainly wasn't a collectivist who sought to create a nanny state.
