A childhood belief about history

When I was 7 I went to Disney World. There is this show thing that is about American history and I remember one part in it about Abraham Lincoln. I remember him saying something about being black and white and that is why he wanted to free the slaves. (I think I misunderstood it.) It made since to me, because he was on the penny which was copper, (those of you who don't live in the U.S., all the other coins are silver), and in all of the illustrated history books I had seen, his skin looked tanner than all the other presidents in them. I still don't know what the guy in the show at Disney World was actually saying.
