Hale believes Abigail over Tituba because 1.) Tituba was one of the first people accused of being a witch in Salem. 2.) Tituba is black and there is a large racial discrimination.

In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," Abigail Williams accuses Tituba of forcing her to drink blood, engaging in witchcraft, and conjuring spirits. Abigail claims that Tituba made her participate in a ritual that involved drinking a potion to harm others, which she uses to deflect blame from herself. These accusations highlight the theme of hysteria and scapegoating in the Salem witch trials.
Betty Parris, Abigail Williams, and Tituba were key figures in the Salem witch trials of 1692. Betty Parris was the daughter of Reverend Samuel Parris and one of the first young girls to exhibit strange behaviors that sparked the witch hunt. Abigail Williams, Betty's cousin, was also a central accuser in the trials and played a significant role in escalating the panic. Tituba, an enslaved woman of Caribbean origin, was one of the first to be accused of witchcraft and her confessions and tales of witchcraft contributed to the hysteria surrounding the trials.
Abigail accuses Tituba of witchcraft to deflect blame from herself after being caught dancing in the woods, as she fears punishment for her actions. By targeting Tituba, a marginalized slave, she hopes to shift the focus away from her own misdeeds and gain the community's sympathy. As the witch hunt escalates, Abigail and the other girls continue to blame others to protect themselves and gain power, creating a climate of paranoia that allows them to manipulate the fears of the townspeople. This tactic ultimately spirals out of control, leading to widespread hysteria and tragic consequences.

Bridget Bishop, who was tried and convicted on June 2nd, 1692.
If this is in reference to the Crucible, then she had confessed to a witch after she saw Tituba coaxed into "conffesing" to seeing the devil. When Hale asked her if there were any others she saw with the devil, Abigail gained the idea of confessing, so that she could say that she saw Elizabeth Proctor with the devil. (Whom she wanted dead because of her love affair with John Proctor)
