I'm a liberal and would have been considered a Republican in 1860.

You're conflating a few things in your liberal definition. Your point being in 1860 it would be considered liberal to be anti-slavery. Generally true, but the term now includes a lot of "non-liberal" thinking, e.g., living off the state, victimhood, et.al.
