1862 started on a Wednesday. In the United States, the big news all year was about the Civil War, with a number of major battles taking place: one of the bloodiest battles was the Battle of Antietam, which occurred in Maryland in mid-September; more than 22,000 died as Union forces defeated Confederate troops. But elsewhere in the world, the Franco-Mexican war was taking place, with fighting in Mexico, as French troops invaded that country. John Tyler, who had been the tenth President of the United States, died on January eighteenth; Martin Van Buren, who had been the eighth US president, died on July twenty-fourth.
