Did you know Kentucky’s Constitution still requires elected officials to swear they haven’t fought a duel? In this episode, we explore the fascinating history of dueling in Kentucky, why it was so tied to personal honor, and how the law tried—and failed—to stop it. From politicians like Henry Clay stepping onto the dueling ground to the shift in culture after the Civil War, we dive into how these traditions shaped the state and why some outdated laws are still with us today.
