A Deadly Contest: The Stanly-Spaight Duel
|
What would you do if someone called you a bad name? In 1802 a war of words became so vicious between Richard Dobbs Spaight (former NC governor and candidate for state senate) and John Stanly (who had beaten Spaight in a race for Congress two years earlier) that the two dueled. After both men had fired and missed their opponent several times, Stanly’s bullet hit Spaight who died the next day.
