Before the Civil War, dueling was generally illegal in theory but not all that uncommon in practice. Even Henry Clay, "the Great Pacificator" and a profoundly unmilitary man, engaged in a (nonlethal) duel, which only increased the respect in which he was held.

I suppose it was preferable to this (see link).
