When did the last bits of Anglo-American enmity die off?

Could there have been a third, post-1812 conflict between the U.K. and U.S.?

When the US Industrialized and it's economic influence eclipsed Britain and it's unstable empire.

according to the book Grasshopper Lies Heavy, yes

There was the Trent Affair, I don't see it spiralling into a full-blown war given another roll of the dice though.

Last bits? Tatcher era. Yes. Fucking 1980's.

The fact that Britons pretend that they were friends with the US for 100 or more years is beyond retarded. They weren't straight-up hostile but friends don't do Suez Crisis to each other.

In the 20s the US was having a naval arms race with the British that could have led to war.

In the late XVIII century Florida switched hands between Spain and England a few times, if it had ended up in British hands, I think the USA could have gone to war for it later in the XIX century.
