Yes, on several occasions, federal troops, usually federalized state national guard units were deployed to prevent violence. Circumstances forced JFK to follow Eisenhower's lead in this despite his personal inclinations.

JFK voted against civil rights in 1957, the only time he had a chance to. His best friend was segregationist George Smathers and Kennedy was visibly outraged at the sight of an interracial couple, Mr and Mrs Sammy Davis Jr. Can you connect those dots?
