First of all, publishers did not make that much from publishing in the new country of America. Also, copyright laws were not in existence or were not enforced.

Edgar Allan Poe did not make money from "The Raven" primarily because he sold the rights to the poem for a flat fee of $9. Additionally, the poem became widely popular after its publication, leading to numerous unauthorized copies being circulated, further limiting Poe's ability to profit from its success.
