No US president ever died from a duel. In fact, I believe that Andrew Jackson was the only president who actually fought in duel and the duels occurred many years before he was president. Alexander Hamilton, who was not a President, but one of the Founding Fathers, did die from a duel.
Alexander Hamilton was the most famous one to be killed in a duel. He was shot by Aaron Burr, the vice-president.
The Burr-Hamilton duel occurred on July 11, 1804. Hamilton died July 12.
You can say "We shall duel to the death!" to show a fight between two people. Or you can be like "I will duel you for ownership of the kingdom!" Duel is a very midevail word.
People that take part in a duel are called duelists.
