Dueling was officially outlawed in New York in 1820. Although dueling had been discouraged and considered illegal prior to this date, the 1820 law made it a felony, carrying severe penalties for those who participated in or organized such contests. This marked a significant shift in the legal treatment of dueling, reflecting changing societal attitudes towards violence and honor.
Dueling was effectively outlawed in England by the early 19th century, with significant legal changes occurring after the passing of the Offences Against the Person Act in 1861. Prior to that, dueling had been discouraged through various laws and social pressures, particularly after the 18th century. The practice gradually declined due to the rise of legal consequences and societal disapproval. By the late 19th century, dueling had largely ceased as a socially accepted practice.
Various things were outlawed by the English at different points in history, including dueling, witchcraft, and treason. Additionally, the English outlawed practices such as bear-baiting, cockfighting, and bull-baiting through various laws and regulations.

The act or dueling and obtaining satisfaction of some insult through a fight to the death was very popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. So popular, that a Vice President (Aaron Burr) actually killed a Secretary of the Treasury (Alexander Hamilton) in a duel. By 1859, dueling was beginning to be viewed a lot less favorably and 18 states had actually outlawed it. By the early twentieth century, anti-dueling laws were enforced and the practice came to an end.
Dueling was legal on the Isle of Man until the mid-19th century. The island had its own legal system, which allowed dueling as a means of settling disputes, and it was seen as a gentlemanly practice during that time. However, as societal views shifted and legal reforms occurred, dueling eventually became outlawed. The practice was formally abolished in the Isle of Man in 1854.
