Where did Anderson spend his later years?

  • Chicago

  • New Orleans

  • Cleveland

  • Virginia

Answer

Virginia served as Anderson's final residence during his later years. After retiring from the military in 1863, he settled in Powhatan County, Virginia, where he resided until his passing in 1870. Anderson's decision to spend his remaining years in Virginia likely stemmed from his strong ties to the state, having served as a professor at the Virginia Military Institute before the Civil War.
