Those were classical liberals, aka paleoconservatives in todays
lexicon. One could argue that Lincoln's Republicans overthrew that
federal republic government by force with a more national republic,
and then FDR's brand of liberals overthrew that government when they
eviscerated limited government by ruling that the commerce clause
essentially lets Congress legislate on any matter in any manner.

Neocons will disagree, but I nominate the USofA.
