the hatfield and mccoy feud lasted 12 years

Wrong. The feud started before the civil war and ended, atleast west of the Mississippi, in Silver City, New Mexico in 1973. That is where the patriarch of the Hatfields, one William Riley Hatfield, met with the patriarch of the McCoys and agreed to halt the feud.

On the East side of the Mississippi, the feud still goes on but with politics as the weapon instead of guns. Once a year, there is even a 'family reunion' with both sides of the feuders showing up and competing in games and old fashioned fun. No 'shooting people' allowed.
