How about the War of 1812?
I was thinking further on this...an argument could be made that Germany was a "free country" during WWII. German citizens could travel across international birders if they wanted to. As did Japanese citizens during the same time period. And then there is the US Civil War - both sides would probably be considered 'free,' maybe not the slaves though.
Upon reflection, this probably wasn't as strong as I first thought.
The British government rules without a constitution giving them the right to rule. Technically, the monarch could retake acting power. Furthermore, the upper house of their Parliament is hereditary. Depends on your definition of "free."

If the upper part already posted, sorry. For a more accurate one, how about the War Between the States, the American Civil War?
