If he didn't the Little Rock Nine would have been killed because they were black. Before Eisenhower had to step in, Orval Faubus' National Guard was protecting them. Then, Orval Faubus removed the NG and the lives of the students were threatened

∙ 8y agoThe Little Rock schools were under orders to integrate, but the governor of Arkansas refused. Meanwhile, nine black students were trying to get in and begin their studies at Central High School. Seeing no cooperation (and lots of obstruction) from the governor, and being concerned about the potential of riots by angry white segregationists, President Eisenhower called in the National Guard to keep the peace and ensure the safety of the black students.

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.---Nikolaus Howe---
