The previous answer was completely incorrect and riddled with outright falsehoods. Fascism, as an ideology, is a religion of the state with government control of virtually everything--no, fascism is not a conservative ideology--at all. Where most liberals today tend to confuse this issue, is that fascism also tends to include intense nationalism, which they confuse with the great divide between patriotic conservatives and liberals, who believe that they are citizens of the world, and dismiss patriotic behavior as "jingoistic."

The reason more historic presidents are not acknowledged as liberal is we were for the most part focused on conservative ideologies, even the old democratic party had a hard time with civil rights movements and other such seemingly "liberal" agendas. but keep in mind a great deal of actual foreward movement for minority's has occurred under republican administrations, including Lincoln himself.
Traditional Liberalism is known as conservatism. Modern liberalism is known as liberalism. So in fact all presidents could be considered liberal. But with the separation into just modern liberalism: Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and Barack Obama.

President Franklin D Roosevelt was one of the most liberal presidents in US history. Herbert C Hoover was a moderate conservative president.
