Liberal and conservative are temporally relative terms in the context you’re using them. Conservatives try to conserve ideas and arguably that would include ideas like human rights, democracy, and federalism. Liberals try to push new ideas, or currently unpopular ideas, into the mainstream.

Liberalism just means granting more freedoms. It can pretty much be right or left, but in America liberal is an ideology between moderate and progressive

That seems like a loaded definition that necessarily implies that liberalism is good in some sense.

Either way, these definitions can mean different things and there isn’t one true way of defining them because they’re used in different ways — even in America.
