I've always preferred the term tyrant.
Now, if the originator of this thread wanted to take the "pro" side of the "resolved" "Lincoln was a Christian," well, then, he'd really have his work cut out for him.
Caveat: I think Lincoln was one of the 2 or 3 bona fide geniuses to ever hold the office.
He was a tyrant, though....and a white supremecist.
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.
