No. But here’s the history lesson:
Duels were originally a viable form of conflict resolution (maybe) when it was essentially impossible to determine who was right and who was wrong. The idea was that the two conflicting parties would duke it out and God would see that the right guy won. Of course it didn’t take ages for people to notice that you didn’t need the moral high ground to win a duel. Winners were more likely to share an aptitude for fighting and killing. But by that time it was too late to just stop.
Idle nobles transformed dueling into a means of establishing male selfworth and developed elaborate social rituals leading up to duels. Sometimes going through the motions required was enough and the duel never happened, sometimes not. The invention of pistols was one of the great equalizers of duels and soon men of the lowest classes were challenging eachother, that killed some of the allure for nobles.
Europe had mostly given up on duels while Americans kept at eachother. Americans were never particularly concerned with the rules the Europeans had developed for duel, many of which were designed to keep fatalities down. Americans would show up to duels with shotguns and bullwhips, but the classic American choice for a duel was a pistol and a Bowie knife. The reasoning was that your pistol might misfire, but your Bowie knife never would.
Eventually the more civilized north turned up it’s nose at the barbarity of dueling. It continued in the South and the frontier and eventually devolved into cowboy type challenges. There wasn’t any time or place, just a promise that the next time the two bumped into eachother someone would die.
What finally killed the duel once and for all was the World War. Suddenly all of the hot blooded young men (and the rest of them) were shipped off to the trenches and when they got back they just didn’t have anything else to prove. They knew they were men and they no longer needed to face death to know it.
