Tituba was a slave from Barbados who worked for Samuel Parris, the minister of the Salem church. She was the first person to be accused of witchcraft. She was accused by two of Parris's daughters, Betty Parris and Abigail Williams.
Betty Parris and Abigail Williams were two young girls who were also members of the Salem church. They were the ones who made the most accusations of witchcraft. They accused more than 150 people, many of whom were innocent.
The accusations of Tituba, Betty Parris, and Abigail Williams caused great harm to the people of Salem. Dozens of innocent people were arrested, tried, and executed. Many families were torn apart. The community was divided by fear and suspicion. The Salem witch trials were a dark chapter in American history.
