Why were Democrats for slavery?

Because back around that time, there was no real divide between "Liberal" and "Conservative". Instead, the Republicans were most popular in the Northern States while the Democrats were most popular in the South, regardless of wealth. After the Civil War there was no slavery to support, but the 'Dixiecrats' (Southern Democrats) continued to refuse to support equal rights for freed slaves. For some time, Black Americans used to vote for Republicans because of Abraham Lincoln. It was Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal which persuaded them to support the Democrats, but the Democrats maintain the support of (racist) White Southerners until the 1960s.
