And which of those cited above were the waging of war against the states?
Whatever else might be said about the Civil War, that the federal government waged war against States cannot be denied without denying the whole of the federal government’s justifications.

None I was just citing examples of the use of Federal troops against civilians both before and after the Posse Comitatus Act.

This one is interesting & recent (see below).

On March 10, 2009, members of the U.S. Army Military Police Corps from Fort Rucker were deployed to Samson, Alabama, in response to a murder spree. Samson officials confirmed that the soldiers assisted in traffic control and securing the crime scene. The governor of Alabama did not request military assistance nor did President Obama authorize their deployment. Subsequent investigation found that the Posse Comitatus Act was violated and several military members received “administrative actions”.
