Braddock's Road

Edward Braddock took a total of 25,000 soldiers in attempt to capture Fort Duquesne. He lost the battle pretty badly and he also got a fatal head wound from it. Now this sounds like it acomplished nothing but it did. On the way to Fort Duquesne Edward and his troops made a road. This road would soon be useful in future settlement of the frontier. I thought that was kinda cool. It sort of shows how God works all things together for good. Even though they lost the battle, they did do something that helped in the settlement of our country.
