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.
Eisenhower put the Arkansas National Guard under Army command in front of schools in Little Rock during the effort to desegregate schools to keep the guard from being led by the governor of Arkansas and to prevent violence.
To keep the guard from being led by the governor of Arkansas
Faubus ordered states troopers to prevent African American students from integrating a school.-Novanet
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.
He was the governor of Arkansas and was, unlike many southern politicians, fairly neutral on racial issues. Faubus was determined to win the reelection and knew that he would have to get people to like him and to agree to his opinion so he became a major defender of white supremacy during his campaign. he ordered Arkansas's National Guard to to stop nine African Americans from entering the school. An angry white mob joined the troops that surrounded the school to prevent Africans Americans from registering.
