Kamikaze aircraft were essentially pilot-guided explosive missiles, purpose-built or converted from conventional aircraft. Pilots would attempt to crash their aircraft into enemy ships in what was called a "body attack" in planes laden with some combination of explosives, bombs, and torpedoes. Accuracy was much higher than that of conventional attacks, and the payload and explosion larger; about 19% of kamikaze attacks were successful. A kamikaze could sustain damage that would disable a conventional attacker and still achieve its objective. The goal of crippling or destroying large numbers of Allied ships, particularly aircraft carriers, was considered by the Empire of Japan to be a just reason for sacrificing pilots and aircraft.
These attacks, which began in October 1944, followed several critical military defeats for the Japanese. They had long since lost aerial dominance as a result of having outdated aircraft and enduring the loss of experienced pilots. Japan suffered from a diminishing capacity for war and a rapidly declining industrial capacity relative to that of the Allies. Japan was also losing pilots faster than it could train their replacements. These combined factors, along with Japan's unwillingness to surrender, led to the use of kamikaze tactics as Allied forces advanced towards the Japanese home islands
Towns were most likely to be found in the New England colonies because that was where the Puritans first settled.
The Puritans first settled around Cape Cod and continued to expand from there. While they originally were going to settle in Virginia and even had a charter for it, the strong winds and storms while aboard the Mayflower caused them to lose which direction they were going, making them inevitably land on Cape Cod.
Not only this, but the New England colonies were favored because of the climate. The climate in the New England colonies was not as hot as the Southern colonies, but the soil was not as fertile. New England also had very good harbors, was very inclusive, and many people did not hold prejudice towards other types of people.
Personally, I would write on limited government. You could talk about the foundation America was built on, and how families should have the sole rights to decide what to do in their homes and country, without being so affected by the government!!
