Essay / Witch Trials at the Salem Witch Trials - 1295
However, Tituba "received special treatment." She did not receive special treatment because she was a Native American slave, she received treatment because she was the first woman accused of witchcraft. They believed that if they kept her locked up, she would confess and report all the women who had participated in witchcraft and that "the accusers and judges hoped to continue using her as a witness against future suspects." Which allowed Tituba to undergo the last trial among the witches. Tituba was, however, sent to prison because she was a slave to the Parrises family, making her a distressing girl to the girls. When she was put on trial, Tituba confessed that she had participated in the worship of Satan himself. Creating fear and chaos because the townspeople had to solve the problem of witchcraft.
