In the 1800s, Liberal Republicans advocated an end to slavery, and full citizenship rights for freed slaves. This viewpoint was closely associated with the Quakers.

The term came back again in the 1960s to 1980s to indicate a Republican who broke with some of the party's planks regarding Birth Control, gay rights, Immigration, marijuana, and the goal of making America all Christian. Most of the 'liberal' wing of the Republican party disappeared after the mid-1980s.
