The duel between Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickinson took place on May 30, 1806, near the Red River in Kentucky. The dispute stemmed from a series of personal and political disagreements between the two men. Dickinson had insulted Jackson's wife, Rachel, and criticized his decisions as a judge. The actual duel was conducted with pistols at a distance of 24 feet. As the duel commenced, Dickinson fired first and struck Jackson in the chest, causing a severe wound. Jackson, determined to defend his honor, calmly aimed and fired, mortally wounding Dickinson, who died shortly thereafter. Despite his victory, Jackson suffered from the bullet lodged near his heart for the remainder of his life. The incident played a significant role in shaping Jackson's reputation as a man of resolve and bolstered his future political aspirations.

I remember in school, teachers/principals would allow kids (boys and girls against their same gender) to settle their problems privately! Some became friends, some just learned to stay away from each other, and some wanted to take it further. 90% of time it was friendship, or understanding! Definitely not todays standards...

Reading a southern history book and the parts about Jackson being rough and easy to anger and not fitting in with the establishemtn reminds me of a certain more recent President who put on a good "every man" show with wild abandon to protocol and properness. It's clear history is ever present as we grapple with what type of personality we want in our leaders.
