I’m not aware of any major strife between Czechia and Slovakia. I may have missed it. It would obviously be harder in the US, where the divide is more urban vs. rural than regional, but I wouldn’t say it’s never been done.
To add to the other response the leaders of both nationalities were veterans of the Prague Spring. They had no appetite for more violence. Could you truly say the same of the US?
Congratulations on finding a split I missed though.

Czechoslovakia was a combination of two historically distinct ethnic groups, so there was relatively little “sorting” during the partisan in the wake of the USSR’s collapse.
Compared to the break up of Yugoslavia or the “Two State Solution” in Israel, it was utopian. But that’s a hold over of the pre-WWs ethnic make up of these regions. You don’t have anything like this in the much more internally diverse and mixed populations of the US.
Furthermore, over the last five years, the high rate of undocumented immigration and smuggling has lead to Czechnia tightening its border. We may see a rise in ethnic nationalism create friction in the future.
