Introduction to Who/Whom in Historical Writing
During the American Revolution, many leaders and soldiers played crucial roles. George Washington, who was the commander of the Continental Army, led his troops with determination. The soldiers, whom he trusted deeply, followed his orders. A young soldier, who had just joined the fight, asked Washington a question about the upcoming battle. The historian wondered whom the soldiers respected most—Washington or his advisors. Understanding who is the subject and whom is the object can clarify the relationships in these historical accounts.
