They did it to avoid the death penalty.
Tituba, the slave who was accused of witchcraft in Salem Massachussettes, was from Barbados.
Tituba confesses to witchcraft since Abigail and the others were claiming she had committed the crime. Tituba was wanting to escape the extreme punishment of whippings and being hanged and so she took the easy road out and just confessed to a crime she had not commited. 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".
