I had to look up what an evil man he was. >In the 18-teens, when the Audubons lived in Henderson, Kentucky, they had nine enslaved people working for them in their household, but by the end of the decade, when faced with financial difficulties, they had sold them. In early 1819, for instance, Audubon took two enslaved men with him down the Mississippi to New Orleans on a skiff, and when he got there, he put the boat and the men up for sale. The Audubons then acquired several more enslaved people during the 1820s but again sold them in 1830; after years of business success in Pennsylvania and Kentucky, he was broke. This compelled him to pursue his nature study and painting more, and he sailed off down the Mississippi with his gun, paint box, and assistant, intent on finding and painting all the birds of North America. So really nothing noteworthy considering the time. Just another white man bad narrative.
