"Duelling was a social practice common in various sections of the United States for a century prior to 1870 . it lost favor in the North after the Revolution but spread in the ante-bellum South motivated by a growing planter class French and Spanish influences and an individualism which soon developed a high code of honor . duels were waged over differences of opinion real or fancied wrongs or insults. Arrangements usually were carried out with respect to the code whether it was the English the South Carolina or the New Orleans covenant . the practice embraced all classes . among the famous duelling grounds were 'Duelling Oaks' New Orleans reports indicate that as many as ten duels were held 'under the oaks' on one Sunday in 1839 . most of the states of the young republic eventually decreed a challenge a breech of peace . in the latter part of the 19th century public opinion and ridicule brought an end to a deadly and senseless custom" Encyclopedia of American History. <br/><br/> The author unknown books

19694640Shreveport La 1969. Very good. Three programs: 48; 32; 306pp. each bound in yellow wrappers stapled. Mostly minor wear some dust-soiling a few stray ink marks one ownership signature. Overall a nice group. A trio of souvenir programs memorializing various events at Shreveport's J.S. Clark Junior High School beginning in the Jim Crow years and ending at the close of the 1960s. The earliest program was issued at the dedication ceremony for the new school in 1959. It features the speakers for the day including J.S. Clark himself group photographs of the faculty and various staff departments a list of patrons and more. The preponderance of the work is comprised of advertisements for local businesses and congratulatory messages from community members. Laid into this program is a printed letter from the day of the dedication with further information about the school. The second and third programs present here were issued to celebrate the school's annual homecoming both in October in 1967 and 1969 respectively. Each program is illustrated on the front cover with a photograph of football players. Each program contains information and sometimes images of the school its faculty the football team the Homecoming court and more with team rosters. As with the earlier dedication ceremony program these works contain numerous advertisements and well wishes from the larger community. The abundance of advertisements within these three programs provides a valuable source for studying the population of commercial and private supporters of the Black community in midcentury Shreveport. Also the programs are important as representations of the slow process of school desegregation in Louisiana specifically Shreveport. The school system in Shreveport did not fully integrate until after the Alexander v. Holmes County case in 1969 in which integration was ordered by the Supreme Court immediately no longer with "all deliberate speed. unknown
