Looking for information on the AROOSTOOK WAR?
1838-1839 Between the United States and the U.K. The dispute was over the international boundary between Canada and the United States. Although no one died, and no blood was shed, it is called a "war" because not only were tensions high and rhetoric heated in Maine and in Canada, but troops were raised and armed on both sides and marched to the disputed border. Only the timely intervention of the U.S. and British governments prevented bloodshed by local militias.
