[Empire_of_Liberty]

To the best of my understanding, Ancient Greece introduced true democracies - of the “Liberals”. The Liberals were the Free People. Ancient Greece ran on its Slaves. They had no vote.

That is the way that I think of the word, “liberal”.

As did Rome. Slavery was ubitiquous throughout history.
