^The above answer has some facts correct but it is missing a few details.
While there is no doubt that the Republicans overwhelmingly opposed slavery, the Democrats were less strong on a position. The Northern Democrats sided with president Lincoln and supported the abolishment of slavery, while the majority of the Southern Democrats (barring a couple of exceptions like Andrew Johnson who was the vice president of Lincoln) supported slavery/opposed the abolishment of slavery. This caused deep divisions within the Democratic Party.
Also, you should note that back then there really was no "liberal" and "conservative" parties, in fact the South was the major stronghold for the Democrats while the North East (New England) area was prominently Republican. A stark contrast to the political strongholds of today.
