Lincoln was most certainly a Liberal within the context of nineteenth century politics, much like every American politician of his day that didn't own slaves/sympathise with those that did.

Well, yeah. 'Liberalism' in an American context doesn't mean much more than 'the policies of the Democratic Party'.
