dueling
definition: Dueling in America lasted from the eighteenth century through the late nineteenth century, serving as a way for selfstyled gentlemen to settle conflicts about apparent insults through a series of elaborate steps, leading ultimately to violence. The practice was especially important in dramatizing relationships between rituals and expressions of masculinity and social class.
