LOL!

Seriously: And the chronological part of your answer is......?

Oh, let's make it easy..... Came up with this quartet while trying to solve fluff's last quartet that (turned out) was about ships named after states. This IS about the land masses named:

West Virginia
Illinois
Louisiana
Nevada

They were the first 4 states to .............. ?

Nope. However, Nevada was first to do this. The answer pre-dates the Bugsy Siegel era of the "creation" of Las Vegas. (Gambling was legalized in 1931.) All that booze, at one point, was illegal. (That not-so-hidden clue is a half-red herring since it shares only part of the answer.)

Nope. I say in horror, "fluff is NOT a prostitute - although she is in West Virginia!" C/mon MM, we've got 4 states in the quartet and evidently more since those 4 are the first on a longer list. Which of the 3 others has legalized prostitution?..... Concentrate, my friend, concentrate.

The age for consensual sex is lower than 18 but not lower than 16?

In Tim's defense, while he was guessing "prostitution," I was editing to add the red-herring part. That is, he was guessing "off" Nevada, not off "herring."

Stella: "Sex," if spelled "gender" would be an equally half-red herring.

Awww, gee, Lance. This is way too obtuse.

Lance says: Well, for once people are not trying hard enough. Usually we all are trying too hard. (not a hidden clue refering to sex. LOL)

Give away clue: Look back at MY guesses on fluff's last quartet.

Otter: At least your answer conforms to the clues. LOL! But: Nope, many, many states on list. AND the order has little if anything to do with the answer. I just picked the first four... coulda picked the last four, etc.

Missy Sunshine: Very, very close, but at least you read my answer. A half-correct answer and closest yet.

They were the first four states to ratify the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits each government in the United States from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude" (i.e., slavery).

Nevada (March 1, 1869)
West Virginia (March 3, 1869)
Illinois (March 5, 1869)
Louisiana (March 5, 1869)

The amendment was ratified nationally on February 3, 1870.
