Tituba, an enslaved woman of African descent in colonial Massachusetts, managed to escape arrest during the Salem witch trials by confessing to witchcraft and implicating others. Her confession shifted the focus away from her, allowing her to avoid immediate punishment. Additionally, she was not a primary target; her testimony helped fuel the hysteria, making her a Survivor in a chaotic situation. Ultimately, she was released from jail after her confession and later bought her freedom.

What does tituba confess?

Tituba confesses to witchcraft since Abigail and the others were claiming she had committed the crime.

The punishment was lesser and she was allowed to just go to church to get the devil out of her instead of getting killed for "witchcraft".
