The Boston Tea Party. Nothing like white guys dressing up as Natives and throwing tea off ships in the Boston Harbour.

The Pig War was the first one that came to mind to me as well. But for colorful things in U.S. history you can't beat the exploits of the Self proclaimed Emperor of the United States Joshua A. Norton

Hmmm. I remember the Pig War......
A pig plundered the garden of an American colonist and was killed. It was owned by an Irishman who refused to accept payment for the pig. The Americans called for military backup and the British sent warships and.....
The whole thing nearly brought the US and England into a war in the 1850s.
Fortunately, the only casualty was the pig.
