Singular indeed that the people should be writhing under oppression and injury, and yet not one among them to be found, to raise the voice of complaint.

Summary

It highlights the absence of a collective or individual willingness to openly challenge or protest against their mistreatment. The quote suggests that there may be various reasons for this silence, such as fear, apathy, or a lack of awareness about one's own rights and the potential for collective action.
