Mamie Eisenhower was often referred to as " Mamie" or "First Lady Mamie."
Which city did president Eisenhower send federal troops to protect African American students?
The Little Rock school board had established a plan to desegregate its schools, beginning with Central High School. Nine young African American students offered to enroll. But Arkansas governor Orval Faubus announced his opposition to integration and called out the Arkansas state National Guard. When the nine students arrived at the school, the National Guard blocked their way of entry.
None of the nine students gained entrance into the school that day. Up until the Little Rock crisis occurred, President Eisenhower had provided small leadership on the civil rights front. When Governor Faubus resisted the will of the federal courts, Eisenhower had to act. President Eisenhower sent federal troops to Little Rock to protect the students and to enforce the court's decision (which happened after the Brown decision).
Your answer is Little Rock, Arkansas.

The Beliefs of The Apostolic-Oneness Movement.
We believe the Godhead as One. That Jesus Christ is God all by himself. That He manifested in three ways:
- The Father- Jehovah (Old Testament),
- The Son- Manifested in the human flesh the Savior and Redeemer of Mankind,
- And The Holy Ghost- the Spirit that was sent back on the Day of Pentecost- our Comforter.
We also belive that the Holy Bible is the: Infallible, Uncoruptable, True Word of the Living God.
We believe that Jesus was born of a Virgin.
We belive the Plan of Salvation:
- That if you call on the name of Jesus you shall be saved. There is no other name given under Heaven whereby we must be saved.
- That you must Repent and Be Baptied in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38)
- That you have to be filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. (Acts 2:4)
- That you must live a life of Holiness.
What is the value of Eisenhower 1972 dollar?
If it's from circulation and made of copper-nickel, it's worth face value. If it's uncirculated, maybe $3 or $4.
If it's a special 40%-silver collector's coin in its original package, it would retail for about $4.50 using the price of silver as of 09/2008.
AnswerUnless it is a proof coin or high-grade uncirculated certified by one of the major grading services, it is worth a dollar but I have seen some well-worn ones priced as high as $3 at flea markets.The value of a 1972 "Ike" dollar is worth around one-ten dollars, depending on its condition. The silver ones that the mint made for collectors is worth around $4.44 as of June 15th, 2009, just for the silver in it. The silver Ike dollars are worth about 4.50 plus a collectors premium, which makes it worth around $8.00.
"FG""FG" is the designer's initials and appears on the front and back of all the Ike dollars except the bicentennial reverse design.NOTE:
The 1972 Eisenhower dollar has been identified to have three different variations (types) noted - Type 1, 2 and 3. Types 1 and 3 currently (February 2013) are valued at around $5 in MS63 condition. Type 2 in MS63 condition is valued at around $67. Search the Internet for "Eisenhower 1972 half dollar type" to learn how to identify the differences.
This is a Eisenhower dollar. None of them regardless of date or mintmark, struck for general circulation have any silver and most are not more than face value. For coins dated 1971 & 1972 uncirculated examples may have a little more value due to the fact dollar coins were not included in Uncirculated Mint sets sold in 1971 & 1972. In general, only proof and uncirculated collectors coins sold from the Mint have premiums.
NOTE 2:
While it is true that the Eisenhower dollars contain no silver, and cannot be redeemed AT A BANK for over face value, collectors are willing to pay over the face value for coins considered to be "collectible". Perhaps that was not clear in the earlier note. Please refer to "A Guide Book of United States Coins 2014", 67th edition by R.S. Yeoman and Kenneth Bressett, page 232 for additional information. (The book is also known as "The Official Red Book".)

Did people think Dwight Eisenhower was a good President?
No, he was a very good President. The economy was fairly stable and a quite period of growth was predominant during his administration.
Almost 50 years after he left office in January, 1961, Eisenhower's stock has risen in the eyes of historians. For instance, a 2010 Siena College poll of 238 Presidential scholars ranked the 34th president 10th out of 43 chief executives.
Eisenhower generally receives high marks for ushering the United States through a period of relative peace and prosperity in the 1950s. He continued most of the existing "New Deal" and "Fair Deal" policies established by his Democratic predecessors, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman, respectively.
He also created the interstate highway system, which made it convenient for Americans to travel long distances by car.
Despite his tendency not to speak out on civil rights issues, Eisenhower sent federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957 to enforce school desegregation.
Eisenhower also struck a chord with his televised farewell address on January 17, 1961, in which he warned against the rise and influence of the military-industrial complex.
2nd Answer:
All true . . . Eisenhower created the interstate highway system so that in case of war on American ground, there would be many routes for shipping, the lack of which was one of Germany's downfalls in World War II.
It is noteworthy that the overpasses on the interstate highway system were required to be tall enough so that a guided missile could be transported under them. (16 foot minimum)
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.
How did president Eisenhower attempt to further United states interests around the world?
To promote US interests abroad, President Eisenhower formed the United States Information Agency. It became the world's largest Public Relations agency and set goals of explaining and advocating United States policies. Other goals included helping American citizens and corporations meet and connect with their European counterparts
What was Eisenhower's major accompleshments during his presidency?
He created all of the US Interstate Highways in America. These nice 4 lane highways that criss-cross thru-out the United States, were actually for military movements...notice how the standard car lane is alittle over 12 feet wide. US tanks are 11 feet wide (average).
Eisenhower got the idea when he was with a military convoy crossing thru the desert into California in the 1920's. Slow, and bogging down...he said, "...there's got to be a better way!" When he became president in the 1950's...he made a better way to move convoys!
Why did he Dwight D. Eisenhower want to be president?
- He wanted to be president of the U.S. because he thought he could make a difference in our nation.
