What are three characteristics of American Romanticism in The Last of the Mohicans?

There are many examples of American Romanticism (a version of
the English Romantic movement that occurred some years earlier) in James Fenimore Cooper's novel
The Last of the Mohicans.

"Shuns civilization
and seeks nature" is seen with the character of Hawkeye. He has a close alliance with certain
Native American tribes, however, he is a white man who has chosen to live in the wilderness
rather than amid "civilized white men." And while it is important that he maintain his identity
as a white man, he finds his strongest friendship with Chingachgook, the "last of the
Mohicans."

Hawkeye also embodies the characteristic of "fights for
individual's freedom and worth." He fights to save Alice and Cora from Magua. He also helps
others of their group escape not only from the Indians (i.e. Major Heyward), but also from the
French (i.e. Colonel Munro).

"Finds beauty and truth in supernatural
or imaginative realms" also applies to Hawkeye. Whereas Gamut is a religious man, he is
ineffective in the wilderness. Hawkeye is not religious in terms of organized religion: he may
actually be seen as a pagan in light of this. However, ironically, it is Hawkeye's ability to
find beauty and truth in nature that makes him a much more spiritual person than David Gamut.
Hawkeye is also a superstitious man, which would bring to light the "imaginative realms" in his
system of belief.
