Whoa! I totally forgot something!
Following the passage of the Civil Rights bill, a far-right group of Republicans broke away from the party, to form the Liberty Party. Unable to come to terms with the new status of black Americans, they formed an ultra-conservative, ultra-religious group interested in ousting the current government and overturning its recent rulings.
Led by former Millerite (don't worry, we'll get to them soon enough) Apollos Hale, the Liberty Party is a recent, but fervent, addition to the Union's political landscape.
Note
Okay, I'll admit. The Liberty Party in IT:A is probably influenced by a current beverage-themed group of US citizens. BUT! The name and concept actually come from a book by Allen Steele, so I'm still staying true to the spirit of the game.
