Best Answer

Although there are historical accounts of dog fights going back to the 1750s, widespread activity emerged after the Civil War, with professional pits proliferating in the 1860s, mainly in the Northeast. Ironically, it was a common form of entertainment for police officers and firemen-the "Police Gazette" served as a major source of information on dog fighting for many years. Although many laws were passed to outlaw the activity, dog fighting continued to expand during the twentieth century.

How do you compare and contrast of dogfighting?

Dogfighting and aerial combat are both types of combat engagement involving aircraft, but they differ in their context and purpose. Dogfighting typically refers to close-range aerial combat between fighter aircraft, often with the goal of shooting down the enemy plane. Aerial combat, on the other hand, is a broader term that encompasses all types of combat and missions conducted in the air, including dogfighting but also reconnaissance, air interdiction, and air superiority operations.
