Indigenous resistance to American settlement was broken with their defeat inBattle of Tippecanoe in 1811, and the collapse ofTecumseh's confederacy in 1813. The new settlers were primarily Americans ofBritish ancestry from theeastern seaboard and theUpland South, andGermans. After theCivil War, in which the state fought for theUnion, natural gas attracted heavy industry and newEuropean immigrants to its northern counties. In the first half of the 20th century, northern and central sections experienced a boom in goods manufacture and automobile production. Southern Indiana remained largely rural. After the rise and fall of theKlan in the 1920s, the state swung politically from theRepublican toDemocratic Party in theNew Deal 1930s. Today, with a decades-long record of returning Republican majorities, Indiana is counted a "red state".
