22. they took up in the Senate chamber of the U. S. capitol (while Elsworth's New York Fire Zouaves took up on the House side)
23. John Adolphus Bernard Dahlgren
24. Sam Houston (also former Governor of Tennessee!)
"Fellow-Citizens, in the name of your rights and liberties, which I believe have been trampled upon, I refuse to take this oath. In the name of the nationality of Texas, which has been betrayed by the Convention, I refuse to take this oath. In the name of the Constitution of Texas, I refuse to take this oath. In the name of my own conscience and manhood, which this Convention would degrade by dragging me before it, to pander to the malice of my enemies....I refuse to take this oath."
25. Dorothea Lynde Dix

21. Harlan fought for the Union (as did future Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes, William B. Woods, and Stanley Matthews).
22. The answer I wanted was that 6th MA took up quarters in the Senate chamber, which wasn’t being used at the time. However, since the question did not ask for a specific room, and since the Senate chamber is located in the Capitol, and since I don’t mark off for spelling, I accepted the answers of Capitol and Capital as well.
23. Rear Adm. John A. Dahlgren was the son of the Swedish consul stationed in Philadelphia at the beginning of the 19th century.
24. Sam Houston refused to take the oath.
25. Dorothea Dix, the superintendent of female nurses for the U.S. government during the Civil War, was given the unflattering nickname for her insistence that army nurses be at least 30 years old and “plain in appearance.” (I thought I’d catch somebody looking for a general or admiral named Dix, but nobody was fooled.)
Not sure why Robert B. chose to favor us with the link from Gone With the Wind to Kevin Bacon, but thanks for the information. (No extra credit, however)
