whisperingwordsofwisdom: weirdscaryandusualstuff: Another British/American war, The Pig War was started when a British infantryman shot a pig that was wandering on American soil. The local American militia responded by gathering at the border and waiting for the British to make a move. Eventually the British apologized and the brief war ended, leaving the pig as the only casualty. War duration: (June-October 1859) Four months.Casualties: One pig. America. Fuck, yeah. I can’t believe this actually happened….but wait, no, I totally can.
