[–]cancer_laugher 266 points267 points ago

Sirs,

The OP is an abased and honorless man unworthy of the designation 'man.' I stake this opinion upon my own honor and the honor of my family, including my Great Uncle Colonel Regimald Leishbreeder and my three sisters Aribel, Mabel and Caressa Leishbreeder.

Should OP find fault in this comment or in any way object to it, allow him to show his yellow skin under the clock tower at 2 hours after the noon bells, precisely three days hence.

And then, gentlemen, we shall discern his true nature.

Yours in health,

Archibald Leishbreeder

Year of Our Lord, 2012

[–]Neg_Karma_Vortex 83 points84 points ago

I'm pretty sure that "deny me satisfaction" in this case is in reference to a duel offer, which was denied.

This wasn't just a catfight on facebook. This man, a gentleman upstanding certainly, as he was a general, denied another gentleman an honorable duel in lieu of an apology.

The only remaining course of action was the placard, to let the world know, that the offending party was indeed a scoundrel and a coward.

[–]autodefenestrator 27 points28 points ago

This is correct. For more information, I refer you to this snippet:

For every man who gloried in the duel, there were many others who feared it. A word or two passed in private company on a Friday night could well mean a challenge on Saturday morning and death on Sunday. Avoiding a challenge wasn't easy. Particularly in the South, where men who refused to duel would be "posted." A statement accusing them of cowardice would be hung in public areas or published in a newspaper or pamphlet.

When Congressman John Randolph of Virginia refused to meet General James Wilkinson in a duel, a furious Wilkinson posted him. The post declared "In justice to my character I denounce to the world John Randolph, a member of Congress, as a prevaricating, base, calumniating scoundrel, poltroon, and coward." Wilkinson, a co-conspirator in Aaron Burr's treason plot, had little character to damage. Randolph lost little by his posting.

Which I think has a better insult than the pic in OP.

[–]BledioKacci 21 points22 points ago

You're a poltroon!

[–]JimH10 4 points5 points ago

No, you're a poltroon!

[–]Edward-Teach 5 points6 points ago

YER a towel!

[–]Pterodactylism 4 points5 points ago

Calumniating? Prevaricating? Why did everyone have such impressive vocabularies back then?

[–]krylonultraflat 2 points3 points ago

Context:

In the above placard, William Tradewell challenged rival politician Leigh Read to a duel. Read had previously made a series of inflammatory remarks about his opponent, causing Tradewell to demand an apology. Though the two never squared-off, both men became known for repeatedly resorting to violence as a means of solving disputes.

Leigh Read was a General in the Florida militia during the Second Seminole Indian War. He died after being shot in the street by the brother of someone he'd killed in an unrelated duel. A movement was started to name a county after him and apparently he has a road named after him in the middle of goddamn nowhere.

Tradewell was a Whig Party leader and their squabble was seemingly based entirely on political disagreements between the Whigs and the Democrats over (of all things) bank reform.

Bank reform. Roll that around in your head for a second. Not "you screwed my sister" or "you besmirched my seemingly pristine reputation" but "I disagree with your notions of the feasibility of National Banks and tariffs."

edit: d'oh forgot a link.

What does "on the 5th inst." mean?

Edit: Learned something new today. Mint Juleps all around.

[–]LikeAMan_NotAGod 54 points55 points ago

I think it means "5th instant" meaning the 5th of the current month. So, obviously, that would be October 5th, 1769.

[–]Ieuan1996 66 points67 points ago

Can't anyone get the bloody date right?! It's October 5th, 1839!

[–]MrGrapefruitDrink 50 points51 points ago

[–]SegamanXero 18 points19 points ago

[–]NiceGrammarNazi 6 points7 points ago

These certainly aren't mutually exclusive outcomes, my dear sir.

[–]homochrist 6 points7 points ago

[–]ZapActions-dower 4 points5 points ago

"Denied me the satisfaction" means that after the insult, the insulter both refused to apologize and then declined the challenge of a duel.

A Coward and a Scoundrel indeed.

[–]herruhlen 2 points3 points ago

[–]Big-Baby-Jesus 2 points3 points ago

Except back then they settled shit like that with pistols at dawn. This ad was meant to goad the guy into having the duel that he had initially refused.

People are a lot quicker to insult someone when there's no threat of a lead ball entering their skull.

[–]johnydarko 1 point2 points ago

In fairness "scoundrel" was probably the equivalent of us posting that someones an "asshole". Like how calling someone a "nincompoop", while sounding cute and pretty inoffensive today, was literally calling them retarded (its an amalgamation of the latin "non compos mentis") back in the 16/17th centuries.

William Tradewell was a Whig and Leigh Read was a Democrat. Leigh Read was assassinated just three years later, in 1841, after he killed a whig leader in a duel and that leader's brother took his revenge.

When the Vikings had a beef with someone, they would erect a wooden pillar with runes all over it, proclaiming the individual to be a pansy homosexual. Runes were held to have great power, so that kind of shit could get you exiled.
