Answer:
The word "Goddess" refers to freedom, which is part of the main theme of this poem.
Explanation:
In this poem by Phillis Wheatley, the fight for freedom led by General Washington can be seen as the main theme.
The author of the poem uses the word Goddess to emphasize this meaning, because that is what freedom is: a great "Goddess", the one who frees us and lets us live in peace.
Let's look at the following quote from the poem:
<em>Proceed, great chief, with virtue on thy side,
</em>
<em>Thy ev'ry action let the Goddess guide.
</em>
<em>A crown, a mansion, and a throne that shine,
</em>
<em>With gold unfading, WASHINGTON! Be thine.</em>

To those, however, who really love the Union may I not speak?”He addresses Southerners who are threatening to secede as "fellow-countrymen": "In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war.”<span>He could also be talking to other audiences, such as the international community amid the growing tension in the United States. Lincoln would want to reassure allies abroad of his authority as the new president.</span></span>
