On March 1, 1692, in Salem Village in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Sarah Goode, Sarah Osborne, and Tituba, an enslaved woman from Barbados, are charged with the illegal practice of witchcraft. Later that day, possibly under coercion, Tituba confessed to the crime, encouraging the authorities to seek out more Salem witches. Henrietta D.
