During the effort to desegregate schools in little rock why did Eisenhower place the Arkansas National Guard under Army command Apex?

President Eisenhower placed the Arkansas National Guard under federal Army command during the Little Rock desegregation crisis to ensure the protection of nine African American students integrating into Central High School. This action was necessary because Governor Orval Faubus had used the National Guard to prevent the students from entering, defying federal desegregation orders. By federalizing the Guard, Eisenhower aimed to uphold the law and maintain order, demonstrating a commitment to civil rights and the enforcement of Supreme Court decisions.
