Eugene Faubus, the Governor of Arkansas, closed Little Rock's four high schools: Central High, Hall High, Little Rock Technical High (a white school), and Horace Mann (a black school) in 1958-1959 in an effort to block desegregation. His actions were an aftermath of the desegragation of Little Rock High School in 1957-1958 and a battle between federal and state government over implementation of the Brown vs Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas decision.

12. Why did President Eisenhower have to send troops to Arkansas?

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.
