Many do not realize that the liberals who championed for the rights of minorities and women that they accredit modern liberals for instead would later go on to be the classical liberals after the term "liberal" was redefined and then later become the modern conservatives. They believe that the classical conservatives who are today's modern liberals that redefined the terms "left-wing" and "liberal" and hijacked the terms and were responsible for the Trail of Tears, slavery, secession, segregation, bombings, and lynchings are the Republicans today and that those who we called the conservatives from the Democratic Party are the same as those who we call conservatives today in an attempt to pin what they did on modern conservatives and steal credit from pre-New Deal liberals who freed the slaves, gave African Americans and women the right to vote, passed women's suffrage, and would later go on to pass the Civil Rights Act. Yesterday's liberals would be today's conservatives and yesterday's conservatives would be today's liberals. | Many do not realize that the liberals who championed for the rights of minorities and women that they accredit modern liberals for instead would later go on to be the classical liberals after the term "liberal" was redefined and then later become the modern conservatives.
