I've always preferred the term tyrant.

Dictator...tyrant...one is just as inaccurate as the other.

....and a white supremecist.

So was Bobby Lee, Jeff Davis, and every other Southerner you would care to mention.

I know that. But Lincoln met with freed blacks and told them that while he favored emancipation, he would NEVER support blacks' being able to vote, intermarry or serve on juries.

Just another facet of "Father Abraham" that never gets reported in the history books. He also in his first inaugural said he would support a constitutional amendment forever preserving the right to own slaves in the states it then existed.

Pffft, you’re obsessed with race.
