No, it wasn't.
While there never has been federal law outlawing prostitution in toto, it was outlawed in pretty much every local jurisdiction.
Prostitution was not legal in the Founding Fathers' days.
It was often legal by default in unorganized frontier territory, but was usually outlawed as that territory was organized into states.
Bingo. I didn’t think that statement was correct.
If prostituion wasn’t legal in the Founding Father’s day why were there legal brothels in Washington DC until the 1900’s.

500 registered Brothels and 5000 registered prostitutes
I am not saying it is right or wrong I am saying the Founding Fathers did not have the puritanical view of sexual conduct that developed during the evangelical movements of the early 20th century.
History is History no matter how much you want to deny it. Deal with what happened don’t try to rewrite history that is best left up to Democrats and other leftist. Conservatives should be realists and not try to change or ignore history because they don’t agree with it.
