It had nothing to do with a spurious backwards-projected 'honour' culture from the old country and everything to do with the fact that it was a slave society. A slave society (as opposed to a society with slaves) is organised around what amounts to institutionalised brutality and the institutionalised brutalisation of the entirety of that society. Which is also why it is peculiarly violent to-day: note that all of the other post-slavery societies in the New World have the same sad issue.
