Anthony were trailblazers in their own time and truely great leaders. However, there is one thing to note regarding your political preference today being based on the party affiliations to these individuals in the 19th century. The Republican Party, especially the "radical republicans" more closely align with the contemporary Democrats of today. The two parties essentially traded ideological philosophies over the course of the century. It started after the Civil War and continued into the 20th century. Some major shifts would include Truman's integration of the US military and LBJ's signing of the Civil Rights Act. The shift involved the changing views on the rights of the African American and women. The switch was final when the Democratic party shifted to support both of these. So if Lincoln were alive today, he would change parties. Thaddeus Stevens and Susan B. Anthony were trailblazers in their own time and truely great leaders.
