Hi koan; You're posting about Lincoln but I think it's rather important that Lincoln was the founder of the Republican party. It's a lot easier to attribute political beliefs to a party than it is to a single person. Lincoln mostly had to do with the conduct of the War, but the Republicans existed before and long after the war. So to see whether the Republicans were conservatives or liberals I think you need to examine Republican beliefs, policies, and their coalition rather than focus on a single person.

So are you admitting that the Republicans were the conservative party but asserting the Lincoln was a liberal? Or are you just avoiding talking about the Republicans? Before I recall you were saying that the Republicans before 1900 were liberals. Have you given up on that?
