Those Pilgrims did business with anyone.
The idea of starting a colony is to create your own fresh start and make your own laws. When in Rome do what the Romans do , If you dont like it leave and make your own thing,Which is how things worked then. The Colonies were not a unified country with the same equal laws.They were individual nations doing things there own way.This was before democracy the hole world was like this not just the Pilgrims.
But unlike the rest of the world the Pilgrims just wanted to keep to themselves , They didnt start wars on the other colonist,But they would trade with anyone even their rivals.
