Depends on what you read & believe. It could be strongly argued that the assassinations of Abe Lincoln & John F. Kennedy were coups because radical changes in Federal policy occurred after their deaths. The Impeachment proceedings of Sam Johnson & Clinton could be called coup attempts since the clear aim of both was to change the directions & policies of the Federal Govt of the times.

The Civil War was a coup that failed. An attempt to destroy the country that led to the bloodiest put down of a coup in history.

There are rumors about what was called the Admiral's revolt in the 50's. No one is quit sure what it was about, but Seven Days in May tells a story similar to it.
