Question: What state did Carl Sandburg live in before moving to North Carolina?
Answer: Carl Sandburg lived in Illinois before moving to North Carolina in 1945. Born in Galesburg, Illinois, he spent most of his life in the Midwest—primarily Illinois, with time in Wisconsin and Michigan—until his wife Paula sought a milder climate and goat pasture, leading them to a 245-acre farm called Connemara in Flat Rock, which had once belonged to the Confederacy’s Secretary of the Treasury C. G. Memminger.
