Why did eisenhower intervene in the little rock controversy?

President Dwight D. Eisenhower intervened in the Little Rock controversy in 1957 to enforce the desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, after Governor Orval Faubus deployed the National Guard to prevent nine African American students from entering. Eisenhower believed in upholding federal law and maintaining civil order, as the Supreme Court had ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. By sending federal troops to ensure the students could safely attend school, Eisenhower aimed to demonstrate the federal government's commitment to civil rights and the rule of law.
