Preston Brooks, the pro-slavery Congressman who beat Charles Sumner, later got goaded into challenging abolitionist Anson Burlingame to a duel. Thing is Burlingame as the challenged got to pick the weapons and venue. Anson was an expert marksman so he picked rifles, so Brooks wussed out.
There’s an alleyway in my city famous for having been a dueling spot. it’s near a bunch of bars and people piss all over it due to the lack of public restrooms. This being the south I assume all of the dumbasses who died there deserved it.
