I selected three primary sources, The Trial of Andrew Johnson, 1868, Ku Klux Klan, 1868, and Kamikaze Attack, 1944.

Navy. The Kamikaze attack was a suicide attack or known as a “body attack.” James J Fahey joined the navy in October 1942, he was a person who witness the whole kamikaze attack by the Japanese. James left a diary behind to explain everything that happened in the war between Japan and the U.S. Navy. James explains in his diary how the U.S. Navy chose the wrong time to refuel their ships, unfortunately that was the most vulnerable time for the Japanese to attack. The U.S. Navy needed to refuel their ships so they formed a circle around the ship that was refueling to protect it. “To protect themselves, the ships formed a defensive circle around the fuel-laden tanker while each took its turn at
