Has the US ever attacked Canada after that war? Or vise versa? Just curious.

How are things up North? Will you be invading soon?

After the Civil war, there were some Fenian Raids against what was still the individual colonies with the objective of getting the UK out of Ireland... not logical and not successful.

We nearly had the Pig War over the San Juan Islands, but fortunately they decided to go to arbitration instead, and Kaiser Wilhelm award the Islands to the USA.

I think the US is safe from Canadian attack for the time being. After the Ukraine invasion Trudeau la tapette promised to increase defence spending and meet previous commitments.

Here is the latest:

The US during the Revolution & the War of 1812. 21 Confederate soldiers attacking from St Albans, Vermont into Canada. Private expedition - the Fenians (Irish guerrillas) in 1866, 1870 & 1871.
