Explanation
Kennedy connects the threats and defiant statements to the need for Alabama National Guardsmen to enforce the federal court order. This describes a cause-and-effect relationship: the defiance led to the guardsmen’s presence. He does not compare two courts, give a personal interpretation, or report Alabamians’ opinions.
