Discounting the Civil War, there have been incidents where US states battled each other. Most of them are from very early in our history, but Texas and Oklahoma nearly traded blows over their respective boundaries over the Red River. I think it was in the 1920's, but I'd have to look it up.
Just one weird little historical fact...
