Andrew Jackson Challenges John "Nolichucky Jack" Sevier To A Duel

Andrew Jackson was devoted to his wife, Rachel.

He fought 13 duels to protect her honor, and even killed one opponent, Charles Dickinson. On October 1, 1803, he challenged John "Nolichucky Jack" Sevier (the first governor of Tennessee) to a duel after Sevier had dishonored Rachel by saying, "I know of no services you have rendered to this country other than taking a trip to Natchez with another man's wife!"
