That’s not what the OP is asking - direct hostilities or combat.
The USS Eagle was sunk by a German U-boat in Casco Bay, killing over 50 sailors. That is the attack on Maine in WW2 on Maine I was referring too.
But that was in no way unique to Maine as regards U-boats ops on the East Coast in the WW’s. Counting Maine as attacked by subs as a result of the now assumed sinking of Eagle by U-853* would mean most other east coast states also were, particularly in the first half of 1942. Whereas the other states and then-territories in your list, CA, OR, HI, AK suffered attacks on land targets during WWII in bombing raids by enemy carrier a/c, flying boats, and floatplanes, in bombardments by submarine deck guns, and occupation by enemy ground forces in case of Attu and Kiska in the Aleutians in AK.
*this sub conducted one of the rare U-boat forays to the US east coast late in WWII. The old patrol boat Eagle’s loss April 23 1945 was ruled at the time to have been caused by a boiler explosion. U-853 was sunk some days later near Block Island so never claimed a success. Research based on crew reports at the time and resulting pressure by interested parties caused the USN to officially change the loss cause to U-853 in 2001, and award combat decorations to the crew.
You’re only aware of the prominent battles, but there were lots of lesser battles in many states during that war: New York, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Virginia, Alabama, Vermont, Florida, even Missouri and Iowa. Some of these battles were with Indians, but they were allies of the British.
But except for the pig, there were no casualties in that war. Ditto for the Aroostook War between Maine and New Brunswick.
Yes and the principal land front of the war was the border between the US and what later became Canada, and an important secondary front was the west, mainly via natives allied with Britain. Strategically speaking these were equal in importance at least to the British raids on the Chesapeake region (mainly but not exclusively in Maryland) later in the war, as well as the invasion of Louisiana which didn’t reach its climax till the war was actually over but word hadn’t reached the front.
Other then-states with War of 1812 battles included North Carolina, Connecticut and Massachusetts: raids or bombardments by British warships, and Georgia: Cumberland Island was seized as advanced base for possible attacks on the southeast. And among other future states, a significant portion of ME was occupied by the British during the war.
So? Isn’t that true of all important countries (during the time they were important)?
Like the Roman Empire:
I understand that one of the reasons the long reign of Augustus Caesar was considered so good was that it was a rare time when Rome was not at war (except for minor border skirmishes) – the Pax Romani time.
Not true.
We burned down your white house.
I see you have rebuilt.
Very nice.
Sorry … I quoted the wrong post there.
My post was in response to the statement, " the only states which were “attacked” in the war of 1812, were Maryland and Louisiana."
P.S. I was quoting a comic skit from somewhere …
I would not have been nearly as snippy in person.
Gosh … What kind of impression could I be making? …
Angst.
Canada never burnt down the White House you know.
Well, DC is technically not a state. Besides, it was the Maryland militia’s job to defend it and they flaked out rather badly.
Once upon a time (before the world reached its current horrible state), some Canadians would occasionally “threaten” to perform a repeat. They were never serious, I’m sure. My reply was that we’d constructed the perfect defense against this. You see, whenever a reenactor strike force would get within striking distance of DC, someone in the group would always say “Hey let’s go to the Air and Space Museum first.” At that point, the whole campaign would be lost.
If Canada burned down the WH it wouldn’t be a repeat. There was no Canada in 1814. But maybe the poster is British. If Great Britain burned down the WH, yes that would be a repeat. 
Texas and Oklahoma had a small battle over a toll bridge in 1931. Martial law was declared, National Guard and Texas rangers were called and some accounts have tales of random shots fired across the Red River. The main issue was a large construction company owned a toll bridge, and stood to lose $$ because the states built a free bridge nearby. It was eventually settled by the courts and the free bridge was opened for traffic. It’s still open today (I’ve crossed it many times).
I saw that via a link from the List of battles fought in Oklahoma page. (I thought OK would be a fairly calm place. Nope.)
If only there was a page like that for each state.
Also: You can’t have driven across the same free bridge since 1995. It was replaced. See the last part of the article.
I’m not sure if your note on behalf of the Queen shows the proper amount of remorse in addition to the praise (is it on our industriousness or our architecture?), but wasn’t Washington DC always not-a-state?
true, but as with the Civil war, there were states where no battles took place. In the civil war, many of the Northern states saw no uniformed enemies, and in the War of 1812, it was the same. Hence my (and others) request that the question’s motive be specified, so that we can figure out what to look for.
By the way, there were no battles that I’ve heard of at least, that took place on US soil, where the actual official enemies fought Americans, during the Vietnam or Korean wars either. Nor world wars one and two. Sabotage and bombardments are different, but even those depend for the purposes of this thread, on what the real POINT of the question is.
This whole discussion really does still come down to what the heck the opening poster meant to ask. Is he looking, for example, for some kind of “innocent” state? Or militarily “virginal,” or what?
:smack: See post #32.
It’s part of the Canadian mythology that they burned down the White House. Please don’t disillusion them.
I agree the OP needs to be more specific about what he’s looking for. Especially about Indian wars, but also about things like the balloon bombs.
Meh, I’m no radically patriotic Canadian but the British war effort was launched from Upper and Lower Canada, included many native born troops and was in many ways the beginning of the nation. It’s a pretty fair claim even if it would be fair to say things would have been different if Britain had instead decided to abandon the continent.
