   I think you mean August of that year.  More recently there was an   
   invasion of Pennsylvania in June and July 1863.   
      
   Some might also count January 2021.  Is it an invasion of all   
   participants were US citizens?  One person there was carrying the   
   flag of the nation (not US state) of Georgia, though he was probably   
   just confused.
