Answer 2

Answer:

The answer to the question: To which city did President Dwight D. Eisenhower send federal troops to protect African American students, would be: Little Rock, Arkansas.

Explanation:

The reason for this decision having been made by the President, with which he sent the 101st Airborne Division, in 1957, was because after the Little Rock school district decided to integrate their students, including 9 African American children, into their school system, the Governor of Arkansa, Faubus, decided to prevent this and people began to rebel against the decision of the school district. Despite the governor being ordered to remove the National Guard from Little Rock Central High School, despite Supreme Court orders and decisions, the governor refused at first, but had to relent in the end. However, such was the disorder still present on the streets of the city, that the President had to intervene with military forces.
