The original white house was burned to the ground by British/Canadian troops in 1814.

Yeah, ok, that counts as a war on US soil, but that's still over 200 years ago.

Not to mention about 100 different American Indian Wars, though some of those were more slaughter than war.

Hard to really count them as wars for the reason you mentioned.
