In Lincoln's time, 'Negress' would have been the genteel term. It was still fairly common in the 1960s, as was Jewess.
Look up "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" for a discussion of the fight to change the term from 'Negro' to 'Black.'

I get that it was in discussion back then and the message "don't think too much about language" is one I agree with but maybe don't encourage people to use a word that the black community tries to eliminate
