In a war as large as the US Civil War, that lasted 4 years, each year had significant events. The answer here must therefore be subjective. Listed below are indeed 2 significant events in September, 1862:

1. The second battle of Bull Run which ended in September 1, 1862. Again the South had the best of this battle. It was another Union loss that gave more confidence to the South, and despair among many Northerners; and

2. Perhaps even more important and best remembered was the battle of Antietam. This battle was the result of Confederate general Robert E. Lee's invasion of Maryland. It was the bloodiest battle of the War. The result was a defeat for the Confederacy. Lee, however, would again invade the North in the future.
