Well, I'm no history expert, but the biography at whitehouse.org says Jackson killed the man, who had slandered his wife, in a duel.

Do you mean whitehouse.gov?
I'm no history expert either, but I know a lot of times the only difference between a "duel" and "shot in cold blood" was the status of the gunman involved...

Nowadays they've replaced "duel" with "suicide".
