“Keep your hair long and glossy or invest in good weaves; cook for him and send the food to his home and his office. Stroke his ego in front of his friends and treat them well for his sake. Kneel down for his parents and call them on important”
― Oyinkan Braithwaite, My Sister, the Serial Killer

“He was a special target for the South during the 1860 campaign, the more so as he was more outspoken against slavery than Lincoln. Editorials thundered against him and “the dire effects of electing a free Negro to the Vice Presidency.” R. B. Rhett, Secession leader of the (Charleston, S. C.) Mercury (July 9, 1860), said Hamlin “is what we call a mulatto. He has black blood in him. The Northern people”
― J.A. Rogers, The Five Negro Presidents: According to What White People Said They Were
