I think the author is saying that during the past two centuries, people were not too weak to speak up and say what they felt. The exact meaning depends on the complete context.

The phrase 'oral fervour' is unclear in meaning.

The writer suggests it is the opposite of 'moral weakness', but I don't see the connection.
