I know your side lives to re-write history, but it's not going to work anymore. Technology has allowed history to be captured and disseminated.Being anti slavery was the liberal, progressive position. Keeping slavery in place, keeping the status quo was the conservative position. Time after time the conservative position ends up on the wrong side of history. This will be different because "patriot" wants it to be so?
Keeping slavery in place was the Dumbocrats position - and they were not conservatives. Republicans ended slavery, lead the Civil Rights movement, and didn't reject science while the left was trying to exploit the mentally ill.
You're really confused about this whole conservative/liberal thing aren't you?
Slavery was the status quo, in other words the conservative position. Ending slavery was the liberal, progressive position. The American Revolution was being liberal, radical, progressive position. Party affiliation is completely a relevant when we're talking about conservative and liberal in history.
I was able to keep a straight face until Patriot claimed that conservatives lead the civil rights movement. Now, my Dr. Pepper is dripping from my monitor, where it shot out of my nose!
