The purpose of this narrative is to detail the battle of Fort Wagner during the Civil War. This focus explains the defeat of Union forces and how the implementation of intelligence assets may have resulted in Union victory. The use of reconnaissance and scout assets by Union forces would have resulted in the success of the Union Army at Fort Wagner.

Throughout James Fennimore Cooper’s novel The Last of the Mohicans a common theme of interracial friendship and love and the difficulty it takes to overcome such an obstacle, is shown strongly in the work. In the novel Cooper shows how the America people of European decent treat those that are native, by showing how negatively they treat the Native Americans. Chingachgook and Hawkeye have a friendship that is genuine and deep, bypassing the normal relationship between that of a white man and a Mohican Indian. Interracial love and romantic relationships are condemned in The Last of the Mohicans, for example when, Cora, the older daughter of Munro, is approached
“The Last of the Mohicans” is a historical novel written by James Fennimore Cooper in 1826, depicting colonial America in 1757 amidst the bloody and long-drawn French and Indian War. The novel is an epic tale of war, loyalty, and the clashing of peoples from different backgrounds and races. Roughly 160 years later, the novel was adapted into a film which, despite the identical settings of the book and the movie, largely transforms the complex historical novel of a war amongst races into a saga of love, lust, and sacrifice through the oversimplification of the novel’s two female characters, Cora and Alice. Although, in the book, Cora is depicted as a fiery and mysterious Afro-Caribbean woman who lacks a love interest and dies heroically at the hands of the enemy, in the movie, Cora is reduced to a white woman whose character is centralized around the competing interests of two white men and appears destined for love. Ultimately, Cora’s character transformation from book to novel through her changed race, her exerted femininity, and her eventual romantic happy-ending demonstrates the serial reconstruction of strong, complex female characters as oversimplified vehicles for an audience-accepted romantic plotline and the centralization of male character dominance.
