Major Accomplishments

When Edward was in parliament he made many accomplishments. First when he was in government he built the Intercolonial Railway, which he was appointed as supervisor. This was one of his major goals in his life. He also made the Maritimes join confederation. He managed to do this with the railway, by linking the Atlantic provinces to Ottawa. Edward was the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick, which is a very big accomplishment. He kept this position until his death in 1880 at the age of 80 years old. Edward accomplished all the goals he set for himself. He brought Canada closer together with one railway.
