The US president wanted to ensure the law of the land was protected by obeying the court order but was also very cautious of the fact that implementing the order of the court might need to a bloody confrontation in Arkansas.

Therefore to dose the tension, the president met with the then governor of Arkansas and both leaders agreed to instruct the National Guard to stay at the central high school and ensure the enforcement of the court order.  6 days to the enforcement, African Americans enrolled in the school and this resulted in a riot.

The riot got out of control that the governor Arkansas couldn’t control the situation and after the situation was becoming more dangerous, the mayor of Little Rock pleaded with the president to intervene.

The president intervened by doing the following

• He directed that the Arkansas National Guard be placed under the control of the federal government
• In addition to the Arkansas National Guard, the president also deployed over 1000 US army to assist in dealing with the situation
• The tactics were successful as it controlled the riots and African American were later enrolled into schools without violence
