Respuesta :

A.) To assist local police who were struggling to contain an angry white mob

Eisenhower had to send federal troops to Central High School in Arkansas to remove the National Guard who had been sent by Governor Faubus.

Governor Faubus was a staunch segregationist who was against Black students attending a previously all White school and so he sent some National Guard troops to stop them from attending.

President Eisenhower responded by sending federal troops to stop the National Guard that had been sent. He also federalized them.
