List of alternate US wars 1800-1900

OK, based on my own earlier ideas & others, here's a brief list of potential AH conflicts the US could've been involved in over the course of the 19th C:
1819-21- USN stamps out Lafitte brothers' piracy in Barataria
1831-32- Nullification Crisis
1844-45- 54-40 Or Fight
1853-57- William Walker more successful in Nicaragua
1857- bigger Mormon War
1866-67- US intervention into Mexican CW vs Archduke Maximilian
1870- VIRGINIUS affair & earlier Spanish-American War
1871- bigger US expedition into Korea
1896- Anglo-US war over Venezuela
1898-99- bigger Samon War

Anybody think of any others ? Hmmm, a new challenge: how bout if some-1 worked on a TL somehow incorporating ALL of the above ?
 
1807- Chesapeake affair starts the war of 1812 five years early
1824- House rendered incompetent for one of many plausible reasons, and the "corrupt bargain" leads to regional conflict
1820s-30s- Encroachment on Native American lands, plus some modicom of cooperation between the tribes, leads to larger "Seminole Wars"

If enough people post ideas, your challenge shall be well-nigh impossible.
 
1800- Adams refuses to step down after Jefferson is elected, leads to civil war.
1836- Toledo War escalates, internal conflict.
1842- Maine border dispute somehow devolves into hostilities
1859- Pig War over the San Juan Islands becomes a war between US and UK
 
Because the USA avoids war w/Mexico, they seek to annex Cuba or Santo Domingo by force. In the late 1840s or 1850s.

1870s-annexation of Santo Domingo by agreement with their govt leads to a revolt by an independence minded populace.
