23. Why did President Eisenhower send federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas?

President Eisenhower sends federal troops to Little Rock to protect nine African American children who wanted to get the education.

Explanation:

The issue began when nine African American students enrolled in Little Rock Central High School. Their admission at a school was a test of Brown v. Board of Education that declared segregation in schools as illegal. Arkansas was part of the southern state, and there was a massive sentiment towards African America. In 1957, the nine students blocked by the Arkansas National Guard under the order of Governor Orval Faubus from entering the school, which later forced President Eisenhower to send federal troops to escort the Little Rock Nine into the school.
