They didn't. Or rather - to them it was "All Souls Day" which is when all the spirits rise and play around on earth. They probably exercised additional caution and possibly performed ceremonies and rituals to ward away the dead from haunting them.

The early colonies, particularly in New England, did not celebrate Halloween in the same way as it is celebrated today. Instead, they observed Christian holidays such as All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, which involved prayers for the dead. It wasn't until the mid-19th century, with the influx of Irish and Scottish immigrants, that Halloween traditions like dressing up in costumes and going door-to-door for treats began to appear in the United States.
