The Influence Of Code Duelo

A man challenging another to a duel was not an uncommon event in Colonial America from the 17th to the 19th century. Duels were only legal in certain areas and they had a strict set of rules outlined by the Code Duello of 1777. In a duel, the men would meet along with their representatives, or “seconds,” to decide on a weapon, which could include either a sword or a gun.
