Uphold the separate but equal doctrine
uphold separate but equal doctrine
Eisenhower's most dramatic response occurred in 1957 when Governor Faubus of Arkansas called out the Arkansas national guard to block Negro students from attending Little Rock High School. Eisenhower sent in federal troops and took over the national guard from Arkansas. The federal troops made sure the black students were allowed to go to class.
Basically, President Eisenhower ordered a division of the U.S. Army to escort the students to school. He also de-mobilized divisions of the Arkansas National Guard, just to remove them from the control of the Arkansas governor.
He did not. Governor Faubus used the Arkansas National Guard to resist the racial integration of Arkansas schools. President Eisenhower used the 101st Airborne Division to enforce the racial integration of Arkansas schools. The schools were integrated, and they did not fight, but if they had the smart money would have been on the One-Oh-One.
The Governor was Orval Eugene Faubus but the year was in 1957. In 1954 the Governor of Arkansas was Francis Cherry. The incident was called the Little Rock Crisis and involved the forced desegregation of the Little Rock Public School System. Faubus used the Arkansas National Guard to stop Black Americans from entering Central High School as ordered under Brown v. Board of Education. In October of 1957 President Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard, ordered them to return to their armories and sent in the 101st Airborne Division to carry out the desegregation ordered by the Supreme Court.

No, President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent the National Guard to Arkansas in 1957 during the contentious battle over school desegregation in Little Rock, when nine black students tried to integrate Central High School.
Little Rock, Arkansas
President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent federal troops to Arkansas in 1957 to enforce the integration of Central High School. He did so in response to Governor Orval Faubus's refusal to comply with the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, which mandated the desegregation of public schools.
1957, The Little Rock Nine are enrolled at Little Rock Central High School after public protests, and the Arkansas National Guard under the direction of Governor Orval Faubus, prevents their first attempt at enrollment. The above answer should stand, however, a few important facts need to be specified: A. The "Nine" were Afro Americans were involved with desegregating the Rock Central High School; B. A court order to arrange for the students to attend the school were defied by Arkansas Governor Faubus; C. The Governor called out the Arkansas National Guard to prevent their attendance; D. US President Eisenhower used the National Guard to counter the Governor; E. After what can be called a fiasco in terms of civil rights, the nine students were finally enrolled; and F. Finally, the end result was the desegregation of the Little Rock public school system. This entire incident was a disgraceful display of racism that required Presidential intervention to solve.
