Big changeI have not looked into it but what laws regarding sending in federal troops to enforce federal court orders changed from 1865 to 1956? 1956 being of course the year President Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne to Little Rock, Arkansas

Militia Act of 1903
Senator Charles Dick championed the Militia Act of 1903, which became known as the Dick Act. This law repealed the Militia Acts of 1792 and designated the militia [per Title 10, Section 311] as two groups: the Unorganized Militia, which included all able-bodied men between ages 17 and 45, and the Organized Militia, which included state militia (National Guard) units receiving federal support.[17][18][19][20]
