Black Hawk is talking of his experience of being beaten by warfare of the white man against his people and him being imprisoned. He suggests that is the only way to try to right the wrongs the white man has visited against him ie by resisting the white man's expansion into his territories. He considers the white man to be deceitful and only friendly in order to find a way to dupe the Indian. In fact Black Hawk would probably be very happy to see how the First Nations peoples have multiplied in recent years and obtained higher education and learned how to battle the white society in the courts and with road blocks and demonstrations etc and obtain some important land claims like the Tsilqhotin one in British Columbia, Canada.

Answer:
By revealing the clergy's vindictive abuse of power.
Explanation:
Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" is a collection of stories told by a group of pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. The given excerpt is from "Prologue to the Pardoner's Tale" where the clergy talks of his 'job' of pardoning people but as a means to profit from them.
In the given excerpt, the pardoner reveals how he used his clergy position to 'attack' those who criticize him. His victims <em>"can't escape slander and defamation"</em>, which he admits is <em>"how [he] deals with people who annoy [him]"</em>. This reveals how the pardoner used the guise of being holy and virtuous to attack his enemies or anyone criticizing him. This shows the vindictive abuse of power by the clergy.
