THESE FOLKS ARE A SMALLER TRIBE SUPPOSED TO BE SIOUAN FORMALLY LIVING IN SOUTH CAROLINA. IT IS INTIMATELY RELATED TO SIOUAN FAMILIES AND TRIBES. IN 1693 THE CHEROKEE COMPLAINED THAT THE CONGAREE TOOK THEM AS PRISONERS AND SOLD THEM AS SLAVES.
THEIR TOWN ON THE SANTEE RIVER HAS HAD ONLY 12 HOUSES WITH PLANTATIONS AROUND THEM. IN 1718 A FORT WAS BUILT BY CONGAREE. MANY OF THEM DIED OF SMALLPOX AFTER CONTACT WITH ANGLOS.
