Japanese fire balloon attacks, countered by, among other things I suppose, teams of all black paratroopers?

not much clue of this one, Sir. Had to look it up
(end of WWII...1945, US jetstream discovery....late 1944)

Well then:

- The burning of Normandie and sabotage in New York City port?
- Japanese's launching unmanned bomb carrying ballons (which travel on the jet stream across Pacific Ocean)?

this is most likely the case, IMHO

if any of these (or more) counts, then I admit my understanding/definition of war and US soil (and terrorism) is way off
Post Civil War, remember?

You got most of them minus espionage, domestic terrorism, the one the TS mentioned, and the error in the year of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
