Best Answer

As long as there have been armies there have been prostitutes. At that time they were called "camp followers". There were other more respectable women with the army as well, wives of soldiers, who also served as laundresses and sometimes nurses (prostitutes did these duties too, out of patriotism or when business was slow). Washington issued several orders seeking to regulate the activities of the "women of the camp". There were of course urban prostitutes in any town of any size.
