Oftentimes, locals, especially black locals, tended to IIRC be more amenable when the government sent in regular units (who had large contingents of conscripts or "volunteered to avoid conscription" recruits) as opposed to the National Guard, which was often the preserve of disproportionately white middle class and higher volunteers who had less connection to the cities they were supposed to restore order in.
