James Fenimore Cooper's Leather-Stocking tales romantically portray frontier America during the colonial and early republican eras. Bill Christophersen suggests they also highlight problems plaguing nineteenth-century America during the decades following the Missouri Compromise, when Congress admitted Missouri to the Union as a slave state.
