The Native Americans who encountered the Europeans were eager to trade to get fire sticks and stone axes. They coveted European produced goods
considerably.
In addition, most of the Native tribes were eager to make treaties with European rivals against their historic enemies.
The Natives in the U.S. were at least allowed to trade with Europeans, and were not immediately captured and turned into slaves as the Spaniards
carried out their colonization.
While the pilgrims who were dropped off at Plymouth Rock were completely ill-prepared, and left with extremely little to make it through the harsh
winter. The other colonists were much better prepared, and fully capable of survival on their own.
