Here are the answers to the questions for Week 5.

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)
