Little Rock The district court ordered Faubus to remove the troops He complied and left the school to the white, angry mob that surrounded it The angry whites b/g to beat black reporters and destroy the school Officers had to take the terrified 9 black students away

Ike Reacts Federal authority had to be upheld so Ike… Ordered the US Army to send troops to Little Rock and federalized the Arkansas National Guard The soldiers surrounded the school w/ their bayonets ready The 9 black students were finally able to enter the school Troops remained there for the rest of the school year
