The governor of Arkansas who refused to integrate Central High School in Little Rock was Orval Faubus. In 1957, he deployed the Arkansas National Guard to prevent nine African American students, known as the Little Rock Nine, from entering the school. His actions sparked a significant national crisis and led to federal intervention, including the deployment of U.S. Army troops to ensure the students' safety and enforce integration. Faubus's stance against integration was emblematic of the broader resistance to civil rights in the South during that era.

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.
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.
