What are some examples of US states warring with one another?

My question is, has there been any states that have warred with each other in the United States? Obviously the one war that comes to mind is the Civil War, not what I am looking for. My question is more directed to one state has a grievance with one other state and they collected militia to go to battle. Being from Ohio I also know of the "Toledo War" which was a political battle over the mouth of the Maumee River. In this tale, two, soon to be states, took up arms to contest a small swatch of land at the border of Michigan and Ohio. Ohio won of course (GO BUCKS!) It got me wondering, had this happened anywhere else in the US? Where state fought state or state fought territory? I am looking for something disputes that don't have to do with the Civil war pre or post. So anything that has to do with slavery or north/south aggression (Noting that the Civil War wasn't about Slavery to begin with). I did some looking and didn't find any internal conflicts (other than above) only ones that involved other countries fighting for land in the US. If anyone has other examples please let me know.
