Abstract:

In the olden days in North Carolina, a real gentleman considered that there was only one way to settle a dispute and that was with a duel. Many famous duels have taken place in North Carolina, both before and since a drastic law against them was passed in 1803, but none have been more famous than the Spaight-Stanly, Carson-Vance, and Stanly-Henry duels.
