Dwight D. Eisenhower, a Republican, was the first President to pass civil rights legislation since after the Civil War. He appointed Earl Warren to the Supreme Court, who ruled on Brown v. Board of Education, thus ending segregation. Eisenhower enforced desegregation by sending federal troops to Arkansas when the democratic governor refused to allow blacks to enter the public school. Eisenhower passed two civil rights bills, clearing a path for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to be passed.
In 1957, President Eisenhower drafted a proposal for civil rights legislation. This resulted in the Civil Rights Act of 1957, which was the first civil rights legislature since Reconstruction. He signed further legislation in the 1960's to support the right to vote.
Eisenhower was a military leader who knew how to use his power as well as a man with a strong sense of right and wrong. He also knew when to use his power to stop a lot of nonsense. Thus, when he acted, people complained. Still, he acted with enough strength to accomplish the job. He went in with enough force so no one challenged his actions.
This was totally different from the way W. went into Iraq. There the US went in with a force that was too small and inadequate for the job. It did not overwhelm.
President Eisenhower never publicly gave support to the civil rights movement.
