Nancy Hank was an extremely dark skin Negro, who resembled Baseball Hall of Famer Henry Aaron. Since Abraham Lincoln knew that he was a Negro/mulatto he had to keep it a secret, but he used his Presidency to free the USA black slaves, which included Lincoln's first cousins who were still in slavery. Please remember that Abraham Lincoln went to live with his Negro cousins and worked on slave plantations after his white father refused to mark the grave of his black mother. Most 1800's old newspapers always state President Lincoln as either being a Negro or being very, very dark. (R.C. Russell, PhD)
