    		The Vietnam War was a part of the cold war.
    The question refers to the longest war involving the United States BEFORE the cold war.

    The Indian Wars. But there were several of them.

    Or even the Banana Wars. But they were also plural.

    		The American Revolution. It lasted for 8 years. (1775-1783).

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolution

    However, if you count the series of wars between the United States and the Seminole Indian tribe as one war, that is the longest running from 1817 to 1858. However, most consider the Seminole Wars as three distinct periods of conflict.

    "The Second Seminole War, often referred to as the Seminole War, lasted longer than any war involving the United States between the American Revolution and the Vietnam War"

    		And then there is the Caribbean War 1814-25.

    Quote:
    1814-25 -- Caribbean. Engagements between pirates and American ships or squadrons took place repeatedly especially ashore and offshore about Cuba, Puerto Rico, Santo Domingo, and Yucatan. Three thousand pirate attacks on merchantmen were reported between 1815 and 1823. In 1822, Commodore James Biddle employed a squadron of two frigates, four sloops of war, two brigs, four schooners, and two gunboats in the West Indies.

    		The Cold War was not a real war.

    There was never a direct military engagement between the US and the Soviet Union, but there was half a century of military buildup as well as political battles for support around the world, including significant involvement of allied and satellite nations in proxy wars.
